Highlights
More information
Walk through the heart of London, and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of royal history.
During this two-hour tour, you’ll explore St James’ Palace, commissioned by the infamous King Henry VIII and now the London home of Princesses Anne, Beatrice, and Alexandra. Of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace is also on the itinerary — with the chance to see the Changing of the Guard ceremony. And you’ll see the stunning Westminster Abbey and learn about its royal connection.
As you walk, your expert guide will share the secrets of London’s historic shops, clubs, and churches, each with their own royal legacy. Uncover intriguing tidbits, such as the Queen’s preferred off-license shop and the barber who once styled Prince Philip’s hair. Did you know that both the Queen Mother and Sir Winston Churchill patronized the same tobacconists?
You’ll also learn about the historical origins of cream teas at the legendary Fortnum and Mason, where you can watch the prestigious Horse Guards. Later, you’ll venture down Jermyn Street to learn more about the coveted Royal Warrants that adorn various London establishments.
It’s royal good fun, and we can’t wait to show you around London!
