The coach eases away from Victoria on a quiet Christmas afternoon and the city opens up like pages turning. Your guide's voice threads history through the hush—an Elizabethan bell, a Gothic façade, the Thames pushing past centuries of stone. Streets that are usually crowded have room to breathe; the towers and domes take on new angles in winter light.
