St. James's PalaceSt James' Palace is the oldest of the Royal palaces still standing in London today. Originally a hunting lodge for Henry VIII, today it stands largely empty but serves a very important purpose in the planning of the state funeral and coronation of our monarchs.
- As we drive from St James's Palace to Green Park, we will stop off at St James's Place and look at the childhood home of Sir Winston Churchill. Here, your guide will give you a quick history of Sir Winston and his involvement with London both as Prime Minister and as a private citizen. (pass by)
