After time to see the sunken garden, we check-in to our hotel for the evening. The evening can be spent at leisure.

Monday: Today we make our way to Buckingham Palace where we have the morning to explore the 19 magnificent State Rooms used for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining. Our next stop is the Royal Mews, home to the historic royal carriages and coaches, the most dazzling of all being the Gold State Coach, which has been used at every coronation since George IV in 1821. After such a feast of all things royal, it’s time to fill ourselves up with an afternoon tea at the Strand Palace Hotel, after all, we deserve it! The evening can be spent at leisure.
