Our specialists are well-acquainted with this version of England, but they can also help you explore its many other faces. These include the modern cityscape of London, a capital forced to redefine itself after the Blitz of World War II, where royal palaces are only a stone’s throw from millennial architecture and contemporary art galleries. They can tailor-make your holiday to take in England’s multi-layered history, from the mysterious Neolithic monoliths of Stonehenge and Avebury, to Roman ramparts and Georgian Bath.
