Itinerario

1. We’ll pause by the Victoria Memorial for a clear view of Buckingham Palace and its famous balcony. In the early evening the crowds of the afternoon have usually begun to thin and the atmosphere around the palace is calmer. Christopher explains royal traditions, daily life at the palace and how to tell if the King is currently in residence.

   10 min

2. The Mall – London’s iconic “red carpet” road. As we walk along this ceremonial avenue, Christopher explains the great state visits of foreign Heads of State and the royal processions that have shaped British public life past and present.

3. A stunning Tudor building where we view the stained glass of the Chapel Royal from the outside. This is the historic location where Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, and more recently, where Prince George and Prince Louis were christened.

   10 min

4. We view the London home of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. I'll share stories of its famous former residents, including the late Queen Mother, in this more intimate royal setting.

   5 min

5. We walk through the iconic arches to this impressive parade ground, synonymous with the British Army and the setting for "Trooping the Colour." You'll see the Old Admiralty building flanking one side of this vast, historic space.

   5 min

6. See the architectural revolution of Inigo Jones—London’s first taste of the Renaissance. This groundbreaking building was unlike anything the city had ever seen. We’ll stand at the exact spot where King Charles I stepped out onto his execution scaffold.

   5 min

7. We stop at the gates of one of the world's most famous streets. While the black door of No. 10 is tucked out of direct sight, we’ll discuss the history of the Prime Minister’s residence and the daily life of this historic street.

   5 min

8. A brief stop at the nation’s primary memorial. This simple, powerful monument on Whitehall is the centerpiece of Remembrance Sunday services, honouring those from across the Commonwealth.

   5 min

9. We can enjoy a quiet moment in the square to see the statues of world leaders and look across at the ancient Westminster Hall. We'll discuss the "treasured stories" of this historic space before the daily bustle begins.

   5 min

10. Catch the "Great Bell" as it chimes. We’ll enjoy the evening light on the details of the Elizabeth Tower—London’s most iconic landmark—without the usual midday crowds.

    5 min

11. We’ll view the House of Commons and the House of Lords from the square. I’ll explain how the two houses operate and share a bit about the atmosphere of Prime Minister’s Questions, which takes place here once a week.

About Londres

Londres combina ceremonial real, museos de talla mundial y monumentos junto al río con barrios distintos, mercados y parques para recorrer a pie.

El Támesis cose la ciudad. En sus orillas se alzan el Parlamento y el Big Ben, la Torre de Londres con las joyas de la Corona, el Tower Bridge y el largo paseo de la South Bank, que pasa ante el London Eye, el Globe de Shakespeare y la Tate Modern. La catedral de San Pablo y la abadía de Westminster anclan el horizonte más antiguo, mientras las torres de cristal se apiñan en el distrito financiero.

Top-ranked sights in Londres: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
