Westminster Abbey is one of the most significant and oldest buildings in the country. For centuries, it has been used for many important purposes including coronations since 1066, 17 royal weddings, and as a final resting place of British Monarchs and other renowned individuals including Sir Isaac Newton, Geoffrey Chaucer, Stephen Hawking, George Frederic Handel, Charles Dickens, and many more. The church’s significance to the history of Britain was formally identified when it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence and administrative office of the British royal family since the 19th century and is one of the few remaining working royal palaces in the world. Don't forget to take a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace and the world's famous balcony.

It is most famous for its Pelicans who have resided in the park for nearly 400 years. The Pelicans were originally presented as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II. Enjoy impressive views of the lake – a key habitat in the park and home to over 15 different species of waterfowl. The park’s famous flower beds at the front of Buckingham Palace are a familiar backdrop to pageants including Trooping the Colour, as well as state visits and other ceremonial occasions.

The present Cathedral, the masterpiece of Britain's most famous architect Sir Christopher Wren. It was built after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and services began in 1697. This was the first Cathedral to be built after the English Reformation in the sixteenth-century, when Henry VIII removed the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Crown took control of the life of the church.

Tower of London Guided Tour The long, bloody history of 'The Tower' is one steeped in myth and legend. Countless prisoners have passed through its 'Traitor's Gate' over the years on their way to jail here, with Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey among its most famous prisoners. As well as being a notorious prison, 'The Tower' was also a place of execution. The last person executed here was in 1941, and over the years dozens have been shot, beheaded and even burned at the stake. As one of the first groups to enter, you will beat the mid-morning crowds to catch an unspoiled glimpse of the priceless Crown Jewels collection. As well as this, you will receive an exclusive guided tour of the Royal Armouries by a White Tower Warden.
