After watching the stables, go to the entrance of Buckingham Palace and wait. At the time, someone will see the confirmation and form a team. They will take them in and don't need to queue up by themselves.

- 9.14.6/5233 ReviewFrom11.55"Very good experience. Book the latest cruise ship on the same day, the ship provides Western dinner, while watching the scenery on both sides of the Straits, while tasting delicious, there are singer performances in the seats. The seats are randomly arranged, but there are generally two people by the window, and there are more than three or four people in the middle. Our boat was just a group of Chinese tourists, a wave of Indian or relatives brought by the waiter, others were Europeans and Americans, two hours ago, the tourists were still not enough to dance, the boat was reluctant to dock. Western food tastes good, but unfortunately the appetite is too small, dessert can not be eaten."London.Buckingham Palace8.2km from downtownHighlights: • Take a Thames River cruise through the heart of London• Admire British historic buildings on both sides of the river and discover their fascinating histories• Enjoy sightseeing or boat mealsThere are many docking piers on the Thames, including the famous Westminster Pier, London Eye Pier, Tower of London Pier and Greenwich Pier.
