Overview

Visit London's most iconic sites from Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square to three of the most well known and best loved buildings in London: Westminster Hall, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament - if the original buildings were still standing, each would be at least 920 years old! Add to that a Royal Park (St James') and two Royal palaces (Buckingham and St James') and you have a right Royal feast!
This exclusive private walking tour has a Royal mention at every stop so if you want to find out about the Royal family past and present, this is the tour for you!
If that is not enough, some of the shops that line St James' Street, as we make our way up to Piccadilly, are centuries old and were founded to serve the gentlemen who used to frequent the Gentlemen's Clubs in centuries gone by. We pass the oldest hat shop and the oldest gentlemen's club in the world as we discover other hidden gems lining this road.

Trafalgar Square

Once a Royal Mews, that most extravagant of kings decided to let his favourite architect loose to develop London's largest square. Not only famous for the column with Admiral Nelson perched on the top, the four lions round its base are equally well known but according to legend, what will happen to them if Big Ben ever strikes 13 times?!

Home to the monarch since 1837, this is an opportunity to see the world famous balcony where special moments in the nation's history have been celebrated.
