There’s never a dull moment in this huge metropolis.

The key is to pick your sights and activities carefully, and with Cosa’s help that’s easy. Whether it’s markets or museums or musicals, we’ll create the perfect London itinerary tailored to you.

The best views of London are the ones that have been enjoyed for centuries: from the water. On this private trip down the River Thames from Westminster to Greenwich you’ll see sights like Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and the Docklands, all from a unique viewpoint – the deck of your boat.

The London Eye became an instant icon the moment it opened in 2000. Europe’s tallest Ferris wheel is now the most popular tourist attraction in the UK. Imagine enjoying that spectacular panorama across the whole city but without the crowds. With Cosa, you can have one of those famous pods all to yourself.

One thing that London has plenty of is open spaces. This isn’t New York with one giant park, this city has splashes of green all over the place. A bike ride through Richmond Park, walking across Hampstead Heath, a picnic in Kensington Gardens or relaxing in Green Park. Your London trip could (and should) include green down-time.

There are countless ways to see London but how about a private tour in a black cab, with a local driver as your guide? Or going underground and behind the scenes of the famous Tube network? Maybe a foodie tour of the street markets or a ghost tour of the East End. Anything is possible so just ask us.
