Let's talk about various possibilities, let's put your tips and opinions here. My idea is that we will arrange the itinerary and the budget estimation accordingly.

Simon: I'd like to get there by plane, for instance by RyanAir? (www.ryanair.com), the return flight-ticket between Brno and London can cost as low as 2.500 CZK including all taxes and fees. I've a few friends in london that can pick us from the airport and provide us an accomodation for a few days (let's say no more than one week). We could do some sightseeing in and maybe around London and then head towards the Bristol and Glastonbury ... (to be continued)

Ivan: This is a good idea. There are two basic possibilities how to travel to Glastonbury. We could travel by train to Castle Cary and then by bus to Glastonbury which costs approximately 2000 CZK (www.nationalrail.co.uk). The second possibility is cheaper but probably less comfortable. We could travel by coach to Glastonbury which costs roughly 1500 CZK (http://www.nationalexpress.com/destinations/events/festivals/glastonbury.cfm).

Ivan: I post several suggestions for sightseeing in London. We could visit some museums, for example the British Museum, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum or the Sherlock Holmes Museum. It could be also interesting to visit London Zoo or the Globe Theater. In Glastonbury, we could visit Glastonbury Abbey where the famous King Arthur may be buried.
