London coach breaks.

Shopping  Then of course there's the shopping. For that touch of luxury why not treat yourself to a visit to Knightsbridge. Here the famous Harrods and Harvey Nichols await you with the finest goods, clothing and food from around the world. If you prefer interesting and individual market stalls then you're spoilt for choice in London - choose from the bohemian and atmospheric Camden Lock, or the fabulous food of Borough Market.

Art and Culture  - If you enjoy your art and culture then London really is a paradise. You can visit one of the many museums; the Imperial War Museum and The Science Museum are particularly impressive. You can also take advantage of London theatre and see a great show in the West End.

Visiting London with children  - Are you planning to enjoy a family coach trip? Make sure to visit The Natural History Museum, which has a reputation for having innovative exhibitions, including the dinosaur figures and the human body section. Activity packs are available too to make the visit even more exciting. London Zoo might be also a great idea for a family day out with a high number of interesting animals from all around the planet.

Famous Buildings  – London is home to a whole host of iconic buildings with fascinating stories just waiting to be discovered including Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of The Queen. Follow in the footsteps of Royalty and explore the lavish State Rooms, where ceremonial occasions and official entertaining takes place, and admire the magnificent treasures from the Royal Collection. Head to the Houses of Parliament to delve into a thousand years of history as you wander through the Lords Chamber, the Commons, The Queen’s Robing Room, Westminster Hall and the Royal Gallery. While many people have seen these famous landmarks from the outside, take the chance to explore them from a different perspective – inside!

London Boroughs  – From Greenwich to Kensington and Chelsea, there are plenty of trendy London boroughs to explore, all with their own distinctive character. Perhaps the most attractive is Richmond upon Thames, a favoured retreat for Royalty throughout the centuries. Picturesque picnic spots by the river, beautiful Royal Parks, intriguing historic houses and quirky galleries combine to create a real jewel in London’s crown here.

No matter what you are planning to visit, we’re sure that you will enjoy your coach break to visit London.

Your Coach Tour of Britain

Your escorted tour of Britain may take you to one or more of the four separate countries in the United Kingdom; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each country has its own unique cultures and traditions, as well as having very distinctive dialects and accents. London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and combines rich history with a world of contemporary design. This city is so vast you would need a few days to get the most out of it. The best way is with a hop-on hop-off double decker bus tour. See the Tower of London and Big Ben, the iconic bell of the famous clock which sits at the Palace of Westminster. Visit the boutiques that line the streets of Knightsbridge, browse the iconic Harrods store, or explore Portobello Road and Camden Market and pick up a bargain. Later, take in a show at London’s West End and revel in the bustling crowds jostling for a place in between all the restaurants, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs. Lastly, take an evening walk to Leicester Square with its vibrant atmosphere of revellers and street entertainers who light up the night sky. Enjoy a night ot two in your London hotel before joining your guided tour of Britain leaving next morning. 

The Historical City of York

Another English gem that is soaked in fascinating history that you may visit on y our guided vacation by coach.  From the Vikings and Romans to the War of the Roses, this extraordinary place has it all. Evidence of medieval times is all around to see; especially The Shambles, a narrow medieval street overlooked by beautifully preserved shop buildings. The majestic York Minster is also not to be missed. Visit the National Railway Museum with its large array of vintage trains, and then enjoy a drink in one of Britain's oldest pubs -The Royal Oak, or most haunted - The Golden Fleece! Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland which offers plenty of wonderful and unique experiences. Enjoy the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle in the summer month of August. Experience some live shows at the world famous Edinburgh arts festival and revel in the party atmosphere.

The Scottish Highlands, Wales and Ireland

On a UK coach holiday, these are a spectacle not to be missed.They will take your breath away as you drive through the many twisting roads and striking scenery. As Scotland's largest whisky region, grab a chance to visit a distillery such as the Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is home to some impressive visitor attractions. Spend a day visiting Cardiff Castle and its exhibits, or immerse yourself in the arts at the Cardiff Bay Millennium Centre. Watch anything from West End musicals and contemporary dance to stand-up comedy and opera, the list is endless.  The Mermaid Quay also houses many wonderful bars and restaurants. The Giant’s Causeway can be found in Northern Ireland on the North Antrim coast and is famous for its unique polygonal basalt columns. Visit the Titanic Belfast, a museum and monument situated close to where the tragic RMS Titanic was built. For a bit more excitement, have a Game Of Thrones experience and join a tour where the award-winning phenomenon is filmed.

Air traffic control problems are returning to haunt August bank holiday travellers – as rail and road disruption also takes hold across the country.

Over the weekend many passengers are experiencing delays as a result of what Ryanair calls an “air traffic control staff shortage” across the continent.

Europe’s biggest budget airline said one on eight of its “first wave” of flights on Monday were delayed because of air-traffic control (ATC) hold-ups. The airline posted on its website: “These repeated flight delays due to ATC mismanagement are unacceptable. We apologise to our passengers for these repeated ATC flight delays which are deeply regrettable but beyond Ryanair’s control.”

On the same bank holiday Monday last year air traffic control systems at Nats , the main UK air navigation provider, shut down in response to an unusual flight plan . Around 2,000 flights were cancelled and 300,000 passengers had their travel plans wrecked.

At least one flight on Sunday night was diverted because delays had built up so much, with easyJet flight 8483 from London Gatwick to Basel taking off more than two hours late. The Airbus jet was making a normal approach to the Franco-Swiss airport when about 10 minutes from landing it changed course and flew around 200 miles to Lyon.

Passengers were told: “We’re very sorry that your flight has now been diverted. This is due to air-traffic control restrictions throughout today have delayed your flight outside of the opening hours of Basel airport.

“Some airports have strict operating times which cannot be extended. As a result we had no option but to divert your flight.”

They completed the journey through the night on buses. But passengers waiting at Basel to fly to London were told their flight was cancelled and the plane flew empty from Lyon back to Gatwick.

A spokesperson for easyJet said: “Flight EZY8483 from London Gatwick to Basel on 25 August was required to divert to Lyon due to earlier delays caused by air traffic control restrictions, which meant the aircraft would not have been able to reach Basel before the airport’s night curfew. As a result, the return flight EZY8484 from Basel to Gatwick was cancelled.

“We did all possible to minimise the impact of the disruption for our customers and provided onward coach transfers to Basel for passengers on the diverted flight. Passengers whose flight was cancelled were entitled to a refund or a transfer to the next available flight and were offered hotel accommodation and meals where required.

“Whilst this was outside of our control, easyJet would like to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience caused. The safety of its passengers and crew is the airline’s highest priority.“

Yet at least five other easyJet aircraft landed at Basel after the flight from London would have touched down. The Independent has asked easyJet for clarification.

Thousands of airline passengers found their rail journeys to and from the key London airports disrupted on Sunday night by a series of issues.

Lines in and out of London Paddington were closed for a time after streamers from the Notting Hill Carnival became entangled in overhead wires.

A spokesperson for Network Rail said: “We had a series of incidents around the Ladbroke Grove area, including a reported trespasser and objects thrown onto the overhead lines in multiple locations, which meant that passenger services could not safely be run on all lines.

“Passenger services were therefore restricted whilst the objects, which turned out to be plastic streamers that had become entangled in the overhead wires, were safely removed.

“We’re incredibly sorry to any passengers disrupted and thank them for their ongoing patience and understanding during this time.”

In addition there was a track issue plus an electrical failure on the Thameslink line linking Luton and Gatwick airports with central London, and a broken rail at Harlow that halted the Stansted Express.

Rail passengers have so far endured a much worse bank holiday weekend than expected . Long-planned engineering work has disrupted three key intercity lines to and from London, with closures, cancellations and diversions.

The East Coast main line, which connects London King's Cross with Yorkshire, northeast England and Scotland, has now reopened – but LNER, the main operator has some curtailed trains as a result of staff shortage and overrunning engineering work elsewhere.

On the West Coast main line, work at London Euston – for the now-paused HS2 project – has reduced the number of trains. And the Great Western route through the Severn Tunnel is closed, with trains between South Wales and London diverted via Gloucester – extending journeys by an hour.

Away from the engineering work, GWR passengers faced widespread cancellations due to staff shortage: one in 10 trains on Sunday was cancelled, with passengers urged to travel on Monday instead. But that will add to pressure on already heavily booked services.

Insufficient staff is also affecting other rail firms. West Midlands Railway is warning: “Due to an anticipated lack of available train crew at key locations across our Snow Hill lines and Worcester - Hereford routes through the bank holiday weekend, we are unfortunately expecting disruption to train services.”

Many trains are expected to be cancelled, with limited rail replacement buses.

On the roads, the RAC predicts heavier bank holiday traffic than at any time since it started recording data in 2015 . Delays are expected on roads serving coastal resorts and on routes for the Leeds and Reading music festivals.

Returning motorists from continental Europe could encounter problems at Calais due to enhanced post-Brexit passport checks.

Strikes affecting travellers resume next weekend. At London Heathrow, 650 officers working for UK Border Force will stop work from 31 August to 3 September in a dispute over rosters. Also on 31 August, train drivers belonging to Aslef will begin 11 weekends of walkouts over a range of issues.
