Tour Itinerary
1
Big Ben and Westminster Abbey
The tour opens at the Palace of Westminster, where Big Ben's iconic clock tower rises above the Thames. From there, Westminster Abbey presents one of England's finest Gothic structures, the site of royal coronations and burials spanning nearly a thousand years.
2
Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace
At Buckingham Palace, you may catch the Changing of the Guard, a ceremonial tradition performed by the Household Division. Nearby St. James's Palace, a working Tudor royal residence, offers a quieter but equally compelling glimpse into London's layered royal history.
3
Royal Albert Hall and Piccadilly Circus
The Royal Albert Hall, with its distinctive red-brick domed exterior, is one of London's most recognized performance venues. Piccadilly Circus follows, a bustling junction known for its illuminated advertising boards and position at the center of London's West End.
4
St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London
Sir Christopher Wren's St. Paul's Cathedral dominates the City of London skyline, offering visitors access to its crypt and, on clear days, views from the dome gallery. The Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses the Crown Jewels and more than nine centuries of royal and military history.
5
Borough Market and the London Eye
Borough Market, operating in various forms since the 13th century, provides a welcome pause with its range of artisan food producers and fresh market stalls. The tour concludes at the London Eye, where glass observation capsules offer an unobstructed view across the capital before your driver returns you to your accommodation.
