9.3
5 Great Tower St, London, Greater London
Castle · St. Katharine's and Wapping · 581 tips and reviews

Ben E.Ben Engen: The guided tour is free so be sure you do it, the "guides" are great and legitimate bad asses as I learned over the course of the tour. Crown jewels are a general must. Go right at open to avoid lines

4. Stonehenge

8.8
Off A344 Rd, Amesbury, Wiltshire

8.9
Upper Ground, London, Greater London
Pub · London · 46 tips and reviews

9.0

14. Dishoom

100 Shoreditch High St, Shoreditch, Greater London
Hotel · 175 tips and reviews
