Even in London, you'll still find traces of Rome from when the city was called Londinium. However, the first structures at Westminster and Tower of London began in the 10th and 11th centuries, though much of what you see today was added later. You can visit either site on their own individually or with a tour. With a 1000 years+ of history there is a good case to hear those stories from a knowledgeable guide. Join the tours individually, or our London in a Day tour which is our most popular option for the city. Small groups of less than 20 make it a great option to navigate the city in an intimate group and connect with your guide. Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath are all great monuments to visit outside London. You'll find different options from trusted partners with tons of reviews from fellow travelers. Windsor Castle is an incredible structure with lots to see including St. George's Chapel. Stonehenge is also a monument that you can't appreciate until you experience it for yourself. The stones were dragged 150 miles from Wales--and for what reason? You'll definitely ponder existence once you learn the entire story. Beyond cultural attractions and museums, London is host to many other fun things to do. You can ride a speedboat on the Thames, take a food tour of any of London's culinary attractions, see a show, or ride the London Eye!
