About
A great tour to see many of London's most famous sights in one morning. Hear the stories of Westminster Abbey, where 40 monarchs have been crowned, and the history of four royal palaces where many of them have lived and died. Learn how the United Kingdom's parliamentary system works looking at the Houses of Parliament and hear Big Ben ring out on the hour. See the 4 main royal palaces (hear the story of when I was invited to Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday party!). We do not go inside any of the buildings we see.
Experience the main Changing of the Guard ceremony (not Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday) or the smaller ceremony at Horse Guards. I know the best places to go and the timing down ...

Houses of Parliament
See the famous Houses of Parliament (officially the Palace of Westminster), hear its history and learn how the UK parliamentary system works. The palace was twice destroyed by fire but one part, dating from 1097, still survives. We'll explore Parliament Square and its statues and stop for you to take photos of probably the most famous view in London.
3
St. James's Park
Originally a marsh, these public gardens are a great place to walk. Home to pelicans, a bridge over the lake offers some iconic photo opportunities.

St. James's Palace
Still the formal address of the UK's royalty and where we start to follow the old guard in the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
5
Buckingham Palace
The palace where we can see the world famous balcony where the royals show themselves to the crowds below. depending on the day we will see parts of the Changing of the Guard ceremony and maybe march alongside the soldiers.

Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall
Once a tilting yard, then a polo field and the location of the beach volleyball in the 2012 Olympics, deepening on the day, we will see a mounted ceremony of the Life Guards
7
10 Downing Street
The official home of the UK's Prime Minister. We will get a glimpse of the building and hear its story. We'll also walk along Whitehall, see the Banqueting House which dates from 1622 and talk about some of the memorials.
8
Trafalgar Square
Home to the famous Nelson's Column, a statue that marks the centre of London, the country's smallest police station and a mysterious empty plinth. Our walk finishes here outside the National Gallery and close to shops and restaurants.
