Working itinerary
Use this as the master outline. Once dates and hotels are fixed, replace the “planning” labels with dates and reservation details.

Arrival, London sights, neighborhood walks, museums, churches, and day-trip possibilities.
Cambridge planning
C. S. Lewis / Cambridge connections, colleges, historic center, and travel onward.
Oxford planning
The Kilns, C. S. Lewis sites, Oxford colleges, and nearby countryside.
Northbound planning
Space for York, northern England, rail travel, or another stop before Scotland.
Edinburgh & Scotland planning
Final portion of the trip before the November 4 flight home from Edinburgh.
Trip journal
The site is designed to grow as you travel: add a short note and a photo group for each day, just as you did on your Sweden site.
Before departure
Planning notes
Flights, trains, lodging, tickets, packing, and “must see” items.
During the trip
Daily notes
A few sentences per day are enough to preserve the context behind the photos.
Afterward
Photos & video
Curate the best photos by city/day rather than placing every image on one long page.
