- Westminster Abbey - The tour includes viewing the magnificent exterior of Westminster Abbey and exploring its surroundings. Every British monarch has been crowned here, and it hosts royal weddings and funerals. Notable figures such as Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton, and Stephen Hawking are interred here, along with many writers, poets, politicians, and royalty, many of whom are pivotal in the nation’s history.
- St. James’s Park - A visit to St James’s Park offers a chance to enjoy nature and birdlife. As the most regal of London’s Royal Parks, it is shaped by generations of monarchs and bordered by three royal palaces. St. James’s Park is the venue for ceremonial events in the capital, from royal weddings and jubilees to military parades and state celebrations. It is also the most picturesque park, filled with stunning trees, blooms, and colorful waterbirds.
- St. James’s Palace - A short walk from the renowned Buckingham Palace leads to the magnificent St James’s Palace. This impressive working royal palace is currently used by the Royal Family for ceremonial occasions and entertaining, and it has been the backdrop for significant events in royal history. Once a hunting lodge and at one time the official residence of royalty, His Majesty King Charles III was proclaimed King here.
- Buckingham Palace - Buckingham Palace is globally recognized as the monarch’s residence, the center of national and royal celebrations, and the setting for the regular Changing the Guard ceremony.
- Green Park - Just steps from Buckingham Palace is the serene Green Park, a peaceful oasis in the bustling city center. Visitors can walk through the park to reach the Underground, also known as the Tube, to head to Borough Market.
- Borough Market - A stop at Borough Market, London’s oldest food market established in the 10th century, offers a chance to enjoy a drink and a snack. This historic market in central London emphasizes high-quality food, sustainable production, and social connection.
- Southwark Cathedral - Southwark Cathedral is a beautiful, hidden gem near Borough Market and close to London Bridge tube station. It is London’s oldest church building, with a church on the site since 606 AD, and was also a site of Roman pagan worship. Shakespeare lived in the parish, and there is a memorial for him. It is likely he attended services here, as his brother Edmund is buried within the church grounds, though the exact location is unknown.
- More London Place - A stroll to ‘More London’, a newly developed square, offers great views of The Tower of London and the impressive Tower Bridge. Developed between 2000 and 2010, More London provides some of London’s most stunning uninterrupted river view office, leisure, and retail spaces.
- The George - The tour concludes at the historic George Pub, established in 1542. It is the only galleried coach house in London and was a favorite of both Dickens and Shakespeare. Visitors can enjoy a refreshing non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage (for those over 18).
