Just back from our Mayday Weekend London Trip. It really is a lovely time to go. Despite what everybody might think London and the traffic is quiet!!! And found two new FANTASTIC places to take our customers. Watch this space.

LONDON WEEKENDS
Each month we have at least one London Weekend available. They are mostly Saturday to Sunday, but we do the occasional 2 night Friday to Sunday Weekend.
This gives the opportunity to go to either a matinee or evening show, or both, (although, once again, the shows are not compulsory).
We use very nice 4* Hotels and a comprehensive guided tour of this magnificent City is included during the course of the weekend.
COST
Currently the cost for our 1 night London Weekend is £109.50pp (sharing) plus any tickets required. Please enquire about the single supplement if required.
U 12's sharing with 2 adults £79.50. U 12's sharing with 1 Adult - we'll do our best!
The cost covers all coaching, B&B hotel accommodation and a guided tour.
