You'll enjoy views of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, symbols of the city. Plus, capture a memorable photo at Abbey Road and more.
Remember that the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, but may be subject to change. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you can watch the Changing of the Royal Horse Guards at Horse Guards Parade. Check the timetables in advance to make sure you catch these events.
London, a modern city with an ancient past, has occupied a central place in British history for centuries. Your driver-guide will introduce you to this multi-faceted city, home to the King and with a rich royal history. You'll also see Shakespeare's Globe and the vibrant West End theatre scene.
On your six-hour tour, you'll stop for photo opportunities and hear stories about London's most famous buildings. You'll have the opportunity to explore Victorian alleyways and markets such as Covent Garden in the West End and Leadenhall Market in the East End, known for its appearance in the Harry Potter films.
This tour includes stops at places such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Kensington Palace, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and many more. At each location, you'll be able to capture your memories and share your day on Instagram before being dropped off at the location of your choice.
