We’ve got a plethora of historic attractions just waiting to be discovered, so head out and discover fascinating landmarks on a historic day out.

London is home to some of the most iconic attractions in the UK, so why not enjoy some sightseeing in the Capital? Soak up the heritage with an educational day out exploring the city’s famous landmarks. If you love all things royal, head to the Tower of London, where you'll find the Crown Jewels under armed guard in the Jewel House! Or, perhaps head to St Paul’s Cathedral to experience a wonderful mix of religious history, striking architecture and spectacular artwork.

Perhaps visit one of the most quintessentially English institutions in the country, the majestic Kew Gardens and Palace, nestled amidst the sumptuous Surrey countryside? Or, if you love nautical history, head to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and enjoy unlimited access to all the major attractions, which include HMS Victory, HMS Warrior 1860, Horrible Histories® Pirates: The Exhibition and more!
