Overview

Explore London’s famous Westminster Area (Buckingham Palace, Westminster & Big Ben & 20 other top sights!) on a 3 hour walking tour.

Then visit Westminster Abbey, which is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings.

Start with a walking tour of the history, culture, and legends of one of Europe’s best-loved cities. Head through Green Park to Buckingham Palace, watch the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun only - 10am tour). Head through Westminster, and see Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.

Then, head to Westminster Abbey. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all coronations of English and British monarchs have been in Westminster Abbey. Until the death of George II in 1760, most kings and queens were buried in the abbey.
