We have a booking at 10:30 AM for the Tower, a 2:00 PM booking for Westminster Abbey and then 4:00 PM Thames Cruise from WM Pier to Greenwich.
Please give ideas about how we can tour both around 100 min each.

They only travel with a 22" roller carryon and a daypack. This is no problem to bring on board with AA.
