London, England is absolutely one of my favorite cities to explore and spend time in.  There is so much to see and do, but also just great atmosphere to sit back and take it slow.  You can plan a trip here on its own or as a stopping point on your way to other European destinations since American Airlines and British Airlines have a partnership, there are often direct flights or flights that layover here.  I've spent a week here and seen how much I could accomplish on a 24 hour layover, while very different experiences - both great trips and options. Here are a few of my favorite things to do or see in London.  This is not an exhaustive list, there's so much to see and do here!  City Highlights On one afternoon walk you can stroll past Buckingham Palace, see Big Ben, take in the atmosphere at Trafalgar Square and of course find a red phone booth!

I've previously stayed Club Level at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Inn, and Disney's Grand Californian Resort. These are all considered Deluxe Resorts. Something that makes the Chronos Club stand out is that it is located in what Disney considers a Moderate Resort.
