Your Itinerary
Trafalgar Square
Once a Royal Mews, that most extravagant of kings decided to let his favourite architect loose to develop London's largest square. Not only famous for the column with Admiral Nelson perched on the top, the four lions round its base are equally well known but according to legend, what will happen to them if Big Ben ever strikes 13 times?!
Whitehall
We wander down Whitehall past Banqueting House, the only remaining part of Whitehall Palace, and No 10 Downing Street, home to the UK's Prime Minister.
Parliament Square
One of the best known, and busiest, squares in London, it boasts Westminster Hall, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, three of London's most iconic buildings. Each has a fantastic story to tell so turn up to hear more!
Westminster Abbey
Only a stone's throw from one of London's busiest squares, Deans Yard is an oasis of calm in the midst of all the madness! Enjoy the tranquility as you survey the Abbey from an unusual position!
St. James's Park
One of the most beautiful of the eight Royal Parks with its abundance of wildlife on the ornamental lake, it has a fascinating history with four kings transforming this area from a once boggy ground to the magnificent park we see today.
Buckingham Palace
Home to the monarch since 1837, this is an opportunity to see the world famous balcony where special moments in the nation's history have been celebrated. Looking at its grandeur today, it's hard to imagine it started life as a small country house built for the Duke of Buckingham in the early 1700s.
St. James's Palace
The scene of many important Royal events across the centuries including marriages, baptisms and imprisonments not to mention the pageantry of today's Changing of the Guard.
St. James's
Centuries old shops, Royal Warrants and Gentlemen's Clubs - even modern day Royals are members! So many stories to tell!
Fortnum & Mason
Out tour ends with a wander around the ground floor of this most sophisticated of London's department stores. A perfect place to go for a coffee!
