Westminster and Royal London

Making the Most of Your Time

A lifetime of exploring may still be insufficient to cover this historically rich part of London. But don't fret: More practically, two to three days can take in the highlights.

For royal pageantry begin with Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Queen's Gallery, and the Guards Museum. For more constitutional sightseeing, there's the Houses of Parliament. For art, the National Gallery and the Tate Britain head anyone's list.
