Traveling to London Covid Style

Did you have a trip to London that got cancelled? Or want to "travel" to London while staying at home? The itinerary below was designed for my 13 year old niece after our trip got cancelled. 

London:  Day 1

Private Zoom tour of London - 1 hour. I used London Walks and our guide was Adam. It was great--we got to tour London in a black cab on a wet rainy day. You can get much more British than this.
