Travel Back in Time

In England, much like in India, stories from the past lie in every street corner waiting to be discovered. The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace are among the capital’s familiar landmarks, all doused in fascinating historical narratives. The British Museum, housing impressive art and archaeological collections from across the world, also merits several hours of exploration. Not too far from London is Britain’s most famous archaeological site, Stonehenge. Dating back 5,000 years, this ring of monolithic stones remains an eternal mystery—some believe it was built as a Roman temple, while others believe it was used as an astronomical device. Head to Bath next, where Georgian architecture forms the backdrop for an undeniably alluring experience. While you’re there, take a dip in the Roman Baths, among the finest and best-preserved spas of the ancient world, fed by rich thermal springs. Literature lovers can also delight in a visit to the Jane Austen Centre, where you can step across time to discover one of the world’s most beloved writers.
