Megan and I started our trip in Bath. Bath is a towne of about 100,000 Brits. We started there to ease our way past the jet lag, and to see the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and visit the Cotswolds (nearby villages) and see the Avebury and Stonehenge stones. Bath is shown below circled in orange:

After two nights in Bath, we continued on to London. We stayed in a nice hotel just a few blocks down the road from Buckingham Palace. We were also within a 1/3 mile of Westminster Abbey.
