British Museum

The British Museum is one of London's strongest anchors for a museum-led stay and rewards nearby hotel positioning more than rushed city-wide planning.

Tower of London

The Tower of London is one of the clearest heritage anchors in the city and needs its own day structure rather than being treated as a quick add-on.

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is one of the most efficient heritage choices for a premium London base around Westminster, St James's, or Victoria.
