Museums and Mayfair, then stone and hedgerow.
Four nights of London at its best — a private guided visit into the Tower of London or the British Museum, Mayfair shopping, an evening at the theatre — followed by three nights in the honey-stone quiet of the Cotswolds, with Windsor Castle, Blenheim Palace and a horse-drawn carriage ride through a country estate along the way. This is England doing both of the things it does better than almost anywhere: cities and countryside, without a compromise in either.
The essentials, unmoved.
