London Private Tours
London works well with a private car and driver-guide. How long: 2–3 days in the city; 4–5 with day trips. OuluTrip has 111 tours that include London, chauffeur-only from £119 per person (based on 4 travelling), all adjustable to your dates, group and interests.
London is where most UK trips start. Most museums’ permanent collections are free, and the Thames is lined with Parliament, the Tower and the South Bank. The centre has a congestion charge and the Underground is quickest; a private car is best for airport transfers and day trips to Windsor, Oxford, Cambridge and Stonehenge.
