  • Parliament Square
    Your guide meets you in central London and runs through the full day ahead, from Westminster to the Tower. This is the moment to get oriented before the walking starts.
  • Westminster Abbey
    Timed entry lets you bypass the main queues and step straight into the church that has hosted nearly every English coronation since 1066. Your guide walks you past the Coronation Chair and into Poets' Corner, where Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer are buried.
  • Big Ben
    Parliament Square opens up beyond the abbey, with Big Ben marking the corner of the Houses of Parliament. This is a photo stop from the outside, with time to take in Westminster before you cut through toward the palace.
  • Buckingham Palace
    Walk through St James's Park to reach the gates of Buckingham Palace, the working home of the monarchy. Here you watch the Changing of the Guard, a display of military precision that has run for centuries. On days when the ceremony does not take place, you see the Horse Guards Parade instead.
  • Trafalgar Square
    Your guide leads you to Trafalgar Square for a break, passing the exterior of 10 Downing Street on the way. Lunch is at your own expense, with plenty of options in the surrounding streets.
  • Thames River
    Board a local clipper for a relaxed cruise east along the Thames. From the water, your guide points out London Bridge, Tower Bridge, City Hall, and the Shard as the city shifts from Westminster to the old port.
  • Tower of London
    Dock beneath the walls of a fortress, royal palace, and prison founded by William the Conqueror in 1066. Follow your guide inside and learn about Traitor's Gate, the Beefeaters, and the stories of Guy Fawkes and Henry VIII's wives. Then, head into the Jewel House on your own to see the Crown Jewels and coronation regalia.
