Arrive in London during the afternoon. Your room will be ready from around 3pm, so if arriving earlier, that should give you plenty of opportunity for sightseeing or shopping.

Though limited, there are some shows on Sunday including Thriller, The Play that Goes Wrong, Lion King and School of Rock. We can arrange a evening on the Thames – the Showboat Dinner Cruise runs most Sunday evenings, with dinner, drinks and entertainment or maybe an evening at the Medieval Banquet, held in a vaulted cellar in St Katharine Docks, with medieval style food, drinks and entertainment.

Body Worlds London
There will be an English breakfast served in the hotel.
Travel to Piccadilly Circus, and begin your visit of Body Worlds.
Dr Gunther von Hagens’ renowned exhibition of real human bodies has sparked curiosity and awe around the world with over 47 million visitors globally. Journey through the human body and discover the magic and mysteries that lie underneath the skin. Expect a unique, exciting and interactive journey through the human body, described by many as ‘emotional’, ‘extraordinary’ and even ‘life-changing’.
The Exhibition takes visitors on an unforgettable journey into the human body and provides fascinating insights into the body’s complex structure and explains how functional systems and organs interact.
You will find that the exhibition experience goes much further. By looking into the inner body of a stranger.
Body Worlds does not only focus on conveying anatomical knowledge. The exhibition aims to inspire visitors to live consciously, to pay more attention to their health, to recognize their physical potential and limitations, and to reflect on what is means to be human.
There is an audio guide for the tour, which will allow you to make the most of the exhibition.
After your visit there is also the option of some free time or alternatively we can pre-book a lunch at a traditional London Pub for you (from approx £15 per person).
