Enjoy the journey as you glide by the Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Parliment and many more sites.


Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is the site of the coronation of the monarchs of England, royal weddings, and the funeral of Princess Diana. Hundreds of people are buried in tombs and in the floor of the Abbey, including Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton. Included with your entry fee is an audio guide that explains the history of this amazing place.


Buckingham Palace

From Westminster Abbey, walk through St. James Park to The Mall to Buckingham Palace. Most visits here are quick, with just a view of the Palace through the fence, but if you get your timing right, you can watch the Changing of the Guard.
The Changing of the Guard occurs every other day at 11 am
(usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday). In the summer, the Changing of
the Guard may occur daily. This schedule can change and the ceremony will not
occur in inclement weather. Click here for the up-to-date schedule.
If you want to watch the Changing of the Guard from the
best vantage points and learn more about this tradition, this walking tour gets
great reviews.


Whitehall

Next we will be walking over to Whitehall. Restaurants on Whitehall either mediocre or expensive (your best beton Whitehall is The Red Lion). There are numerous restaurants to try just south of Buckingham Palace, including Bon Gusto (Italian), Quilon (Indian and Asian), or Buckingham Arms (bar/pub located on at 62 Petty France)


Churchill War Rooms

After lunch, walk to the Churchill War Rooms. This museum has two parts to it. At the Churchill Museum you learn about the life and legacy of Winston Churchill. Then you enter the Cabinet War Rooms. This is the underground bunker where Churchill and his staff ran their operations during World War II.
You do not need to be a history buff to appreciate this
visit. We all found this fascinating, even Tyler and Kara.

of your visit on this small group tour which includes the Churchill War Rooms
and a guided walking tour of the war sites in Westminster.

Horse Guards Parade

Walk one more block north on Whitehall to Horse Guards Parade. This is a large, gravel area used for parades and a daily changing of the guard (at 11 am).

There are numerous restaurants in this area, including a
cluster of restaurants and shops in Apple Market.


Neal's Yard

Neal's Yard is a colorful alley in Covent Garden. It's worth the quick visit just to take a photo. Just around the corner is Neal's Yard Dairy, one of the best spots in the city to sample artisanal cheese.
