Less than an hour from the centre of London, you will find
Hampton Court Palace, home to Henry VIII.

the London Bicycle Tour Company. The routes have been
carefully planned to keep you well away from the dangers and fumes of London's traffic so
you can concentrate on enjoying the sights and sounds of London from a two-wheeled perspective. |
