Whether you’re staying in London for a holiday, for business or happen to live there, you’ll no doubt be pretty enamoured. Few places hold such allure: with world-class entertainment, shopping, culture, food and drink, it’s actually quite difficult to get bored.
But that’s not to say that there’s nothing more to the UK. The country offers myriad fantastic cities, attractions and locations for you to visit even within 1 to 2 hours’ drive from the capital (even Londoners like to escape sometimes!). When you want to explore the south of England in style, why not consider a chauffeur day tour from London? Here are five of the best locations to explore, and our chauffeurs are ready and waiting to whisk you away.
Windsor Castle
In this list, the location with the closest proximity to London is Windsor, the historic, scenic and iconic residence (at least sometimes) of none other than the Queen. Admission to Windsor Castle for an adult is around £20, and the ticket will afford you valuable insight into the UK’s history, culture and monarchy. Elsewhere in Windsor, you’ll find plenty of quaint shops, pubs and cafes, and you can also visit Legoland if you have kids with you. Or if you just love Lego.
Oxford
Down the M40 from London lies Oxford – imposing yet quaint, traditional but bustling. After exploring the city centre, all of which is based around the university itself, and visiting the free Ashmolean Museum and Modern Art Oxford on Beaumont and Pembroke Street respectively, either head to East Oxford’s South Park for its fantastic views and close proximity to the vibrant Cowley Road, or have a wander around the bohemian district of Jericho. If you’re into Middle Earth or Narnia, both of their creators were regular visitors to the Eagle and Child pub on the beautiful street of St Giles – take a leaf out of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis’ books and stop by.
Stonehenge
Near Salisbury lies perhaps one of the most fascinating monuments of the ancient world. Stonehenge costs around £17 for admission but is worth every penny to see the staggering mystery and workmanship of the monument. Not to be missed.
Cambridge
The UK has not one, but two of the world’s most renowned universities. Like Oxford, the city centre of Cambridge is built around the university itself – to walk around it is to witness the institution in all of its grandeur. You can, however, get a slightly closer look by visiting the colleges during the summer (prices vary), or by renting a punt for around £30 an hour and exploring the city by boat!
The Cotswolds
In the scenic environs of the West Country lies one of the UK’s most beautiful national parks. The Cotswolds offer you a chance to see beautiful, rolling hills and fantastic woodland – perfect for exploring, trekking and generally pottering around. There are plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat, and its picnic opportunities are second to none.
A luxury service for a fantastic day
Wherever you’re staying in London and wherever you wish to visit, our chauffeurs can pick you up directly from your door, take you to your location and wait for you while you see the sights, have lunch and enjoy yourself. They will then take you home – offering a wholly convenient and luxurious experience that takes the hassle out of public transport or driving. A standard 10-hour chauffeur day tour in a Mercedes E-Class, S-Class or V-Class costs £350, £400 or £425 respectively. So why not book a day tour with chauffeur to visit your dream locations today?
