Every photograph below was taken by us, on a trip we took ourselves. Nothing here is stock, and nothing shows a place we have not stood in.
Tower Bridge from the river 
HMS Belfast on the Thames, Tower Bridge beyond 
The White Tower above the old curtain wall 
The City skyline — the Walkie-Talkie, the Gherkin, the Cheesegrater 
A vaulted Norman gallery inside the Tower 
The Thames and Westminster from a London Eye capsule 
The Victoria Tower at the end of the Palace of Westminster 
The north transept and rose window of Westminster Abbey 
The west towers of Westminster Abbey 
The west front of St Paul's Cathedral 
The inner ward of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge behind 
The Thames at dusk, Parliament and the Elizabeth Tower in silhouette 
The castle ruin across the lawn 
Down into the hexagonal courtyard from the upper floor 
The lake through a ruined window 
The side that still looks whole, from the grass 
Inside the ruin, looking up at the broken wall 
The banqueting house across the park, framed by the castle 
The wrecked side of the castle from the lawn 
The stone circle from the visitor path 
The circle across the grass, the roped path around it 
The Heel Stone, the circle beyond it 
The trilithons close up, lintels still in place 
The circle small on the open plain 
The stones under a heavy December sky 
The group at the stones Thinking about United Kingdom?
Tell us the dates and who is coming, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a trip we can plan well — and what we would change to make it better.
Start planningThe day above is free and yours to use. What it cannot do is decide where this fits in a two-week trip, which hotel works with your arrival time and your walking pace, what needs reserving months ahead, or what happens on the day it rains. That is the part you would be hiring me for, and planning starts at $750.
Or read the questions we are asked most — what a trip includes, how far ahead to book, deposits and cancellation.
