A Royal Weekend in London: 2-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Regal Landmarks
Start at Buckingham Palace (9:30 AM) to catch the Changing of the Guard (11 AM, check schedule). Stroll through St. James’s Park to Westminster Abbey, a Gothic masterpiece hosting royal weddings. Book tickets online (£29) to skip lines. Nearby, admire Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Cross Westminster Bridge for a London Eye ride (£35, pre-book for discounts). End with a regal dinner at The Goring Dining Room, known for its royal connections (reservations needed).

Day 2: Historic Charm
Visit Kensington Palace (£16, book ahead) to explore royal residences and Princess Diana’s legacy. Wander Kensington Gardens, then head to Notting Hill for pastel houses and Portobello Road’s charm. Afternoon tea at The Ritz (£75, book early) feels like royalty. Finish at Tower of London (£34, pre-book) to see the Crown Jewels.

Tips: Use the Tube (Oyster card, ~£8/day). Book tickets online to save time. Dress smart for upscale venues. Pack comfy shoes and an umbrella.
