Brief Overview: London, England is Europe’s

melting pot. Situated on the River Thames

and sprawling for approximately 600 square

miles, it is home to more than nine million

people. Perhaps the most famous resident is

Queen Elizabeth II whose official residence is

Buckingham Palace. The nearby Kensington

Palace, home of Prince William and Kate, also

provides visitors with a glimpse into royal life.

Westminster Abbey has been the official site

for Royal coronations, weddings and state

funerals for centuries. The Tower of London

(former prison and current home of the crown

jewels) and the Palace of Westminster (home

of the Houses of Parliament) line the Thames

and can be viewed from the London Eye or a

cruise along the river. The palace’s clock

tower, often called Big Ben, is the symbol of London 2012 Olympic Games. We will be in London for the

Paralympics, which are held immediately following the Olympic Games. For ticket information go to
