Buckingham Palace to Big Ben.
Tour description
Hello and welcome to my London tour. I'm Jill inviting you to join me for a lovely stroll from Victoria station, through St. James and to Westminster and the houses of Parliament. We'll encounter the history and highlights of the area, including part of the Changing of the Guard ceremony if you join me for my 11 o clock tour on Monday, Wednesday or Friday or the 11 am Sunday parade. I have lived in London for twenty years and led my tours for five of those. I've worked in many of the buildings we'll see along the way and gathered lots of stories and tales from the history of the city.
We'll meet at the Ferdinand Foch horse statue opposite the Shakespeare pub at Victoria Station.
During the tour, we'll pass the Royal Mews and Buckingham Palace, make our way down the Mall encountering other lovely habitats and hidey holes of the Royal Family and their ancestors.
Passing through St. James Park, we'll then make our way down historic Whitehall experiencing all things parliamentary, police-like, and political party-ish.
We'll finally arrive at the Houses of Parliament to say hello to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. I love to make sure my walkers get the most out of their visit so please come with lots of questions so we can make your tour your own.
