How to reach the city from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City
Airport. The article includes links to London airport and transportation sites.
Tower of London
Britain's 1,000-year-old royal palace, fortress, and prison has something for
everyone, from a torture exhibit to the Crown Jewels. Don't miss a Yeoman
Warder's tour, and write ahead for free tickets to the nightly
Ceremony of the
Keys.

Princess Diana. You can visit its State Apartments, the Royal Ceremonial Dress
Collection, an exhibit of Diana's dresses, and the Orangery
tearoom.
Hampton Court Palace
Ride a commuter train or Thames riverboat to "the greatest palace in
Britain," which lies 12 miles from London amid 60 acres of gardens and 600 acres
of royal parkland. Attractions include tours with costumed guides, the
reconstructed Tudor Kitchens, and Britain's oldest maze.
