Chronological journey through historical London

Begin your journey in tranquil Green Park before you're ushered into the realm of royal grandeur of Westminster with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. Marvel at the ceremonial Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, a tradition that dates back to 1660. Next, stride past Downing Street and towards Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, with Big Ben towering above, a 96-meter tall testament to Victorian Gothic architecture.

From London Bridge to Churchill’s Bunker

The tour then transports you to the London Bridge area where you'll discover attractions like Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a faithful reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse. Gaze up at The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe, and learn about its unique design inspired by a shard of glass. The experience concludes with a visit to Churchill's War Rooms, an underground bunker that remained a secret until the 80s and served as Churchill's strategic hub during World War II. Use the audio guide to learn more about the bunker, Churchill's strategies, and stories from World War II.
