You have the option of visiting the Royal Observatory, the historic sailing ship Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum (free of charge), or Queen’s House Art Gallery (free of charge). For the shoppers, there is also Greenwich Market to enjoy.
Day 4: Enjoy an indoor winery tour at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey, one of the largest wine producers in the UK, with 265 acres of vines – of which we are guided through a tasting of Denbies’ classic wine. We then visit the former home of Sir Winston Churchill at Chartwell. The house remains much the same as when this influential family lived here, with fascinating pictures, books and personal mementoes on display. Explore the gardens and see the place Churchill used to sit and feed his Golden Orfe, and the wall he built with his own hands.
Day 5: After breakfast, we return to Waterside.
