You can also enjoy the scene of Tower Bridge and Tower of London while sitting in the coach. The Tower of London is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It has played a prominent role in English history and served variously as a palace, an armoury, a treasury, a prison, the home of the Royal Mint, the home of the Crown Jewels of England and has been the setting of many bloody battles among British Monarchs.

After breakfast, it is time to visit the nation's acclaimed educational institution: Cambridge University. In addition to a strong academic atmosphere, Cambridge is where many luminaries started their dreams and hopes for the future with the sight of the pastoral landscapes, picturesque rivers and architecture. The University of Cambridge, a majestic old group of buildings including King's College and Queens College, set among the most rural of bridges. When come to Cambridge, sincerely recommend a trip to Cambridge Penny, which is carried by a boat with a long pole (part-time job of many college students) to carry people up the river Cambridge. Buying a sweater, postcard or magnet with the Cambridge school badge or the Cambridge University logo is also a favorite souvenir for many people.
