This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

People say that history is boring.

Did you know that the spark that started the English civil war was a row between a husband and wife?
Or that Henry VIII secretly married Anne Boleyn in the Whitehall Palace before he was officially divorced?
And that many people consider the builder of Downing Street to be a scoundrel?
The great buildings of London are here too, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Westminster Abbey and we will talk about them.
But we will also recall the human events that make us who we are and the story of a small island kingdom that became a global empire will be seen in these stones and buildings.
