3. EXPERIENCE ROYAL TIMES AT WINDSOR CASTLE See how English royalty live on a visit to Windsor Castle; built by William the Conqueror in 1070, it has been home to the kings and queens of England for over 900 years! When Queen Elizabeth is in residence, a flag called the Royal Standard flies from the Round Tower; at other times, you’ll see the Union Flag. View Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, built in the early 1920s; this exquisitely detailed miniature palace even has a tiny wine cellar that contains real wine. London’s West End is the largest theatre district in the world, dating back to 1663. There is nothing more traditionally English than a night at the theatre; head over to the West End this evening to see The Wizard of Oz. Meals B
