Overview
This is the London you see on TV! Here you'll walk in the foot steps of the royal family, stroll along beautiful royal parks, see where our Monarchs are crowned, and learn about secret rooms underneath government buildings - and what exactly happened down there. You'll pass by the home of the Prime Minister, have a chance to see the King's swans, and visit the most important royal palace in the country (spoiler: it's NOT Buckingham).
You'll see the seats of the royal and governmental bodies that control the UK and learn their 1,000 year old history. You'll have a chance to inspect the King's guards, see the most famous palace in the world, take a photo of "Big Ben" ...and then learn why you aren't actually taking a photo of Big Ben.
Sometimes we even have an opportunity to wave to the King and, sometimes, he even waves back!
On days that it takes place, this tour also includes the world-famous Changing of the Guard - and we will take you to the best place to view it.

-
Buckingham PalaceYour guide will begin your tour by positioning you to get perfect photographs of the most famous Royal Palace in the world, which has been home of the British Monarchy for nearly 200 years.
-
Changing of the GuardYour guide will take you to our tried-and-tested viewpoint to get you a front-row view of this historic ceremony. NOTE: The Changing of the Guard schedule (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays) is subject to change and may be disrupted by adverse weather, London events, and official activity relating to the Royal Family.
-
Clarence HousePeak through the gates to see how the "other half" live at Clarence House. Former home of Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, this building is now the current residence of our King Charles II and Queen Camilla.
-
St. James's PalaceStand beside the epicentre of the Royal Court of the United Kingdom at St. James's Palace. Built by Henry VIII, this Palace is less famous than others in London but is - by far - the most important.
-
St. James's ParkYou'll stroll through the leafy pathways of this beautiful royal park. Opened to the public by King Charles II in the 17th century, today St. James's Park is home to a number of birds, including a family of swans and pelicans that belong to His Majesty, the King.
-
Stand in Trafalgar Square, often described as London's common room. This is where Londoners come to celebrate, commiserate, protest, and party! Surrounded by the iconic four lions at the base of Nelson's columns, this is one of the world's most recognised sites.
-
Horse Guards Parade at WhitehallYou'll then pay a visit to Royal Horse Guards. This open space is home to the King's Life Guard, as well as their horses, and is the backdrop to the Monarchs annual birthday celebration: Trooping the Colour. NOTE: If the Changing of the Horse Guards is taking place, we will get you a front-row view!
- See if you can spot the iconic Number 10 Downing Street as your guide takes you past the imposing walls and gates that surround this famous building. Built in the 18th century, Downing Street has been home to our Prime Ministers since the creation of the job centuries ago. Who knows who will have the job by the time you visit us! (pass by)
-
Churchill War RoomsAlthough we cannot see the War Rooms, you will be walking on top of the most important war-time structures in the county as we make our way through the governmental centre of Whitehall. These purpose built rooms, underneath the treasury, are where Winston Churchill led the British forces during World War Two. Now open to the public as a Museum, this is one of our favourite places to recommend!
-
Westminster AbbeyHere you'll stand in the shadow of one of the most famous churches in the entire world. Originally built over 1,000 years ago, Westminster Abbey is the resting place of numerous Kings, Queens and famous figures. This is where Royal Weddings take place, our Monarchs are crowned, and state funerals are held. The detailed exteriors are stunning to behold and we will make sure you get the best view.
-
Palace of WestminsterYour guide will then take you to a "two-for-one" at the Palace of Westminster, which also holds the Houses of Parliament. This is the centre of the UK's legislature, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The building itself is largely Victorian but contains within it one of the most famous buildings in the country: Westminster Hall. From trials to coronation banquets, laying-in-state to executions, Westminster Hall has seen it all since it was first built back in 1097.
-
Big BenThis almost needs no description... Your guide will put you in prime position to get the best photographs of Big Ben. Then you'll find out why you're not technically taking photos of Big Ben at all!
