As we enter through the Tudor Gatehouse it may feel as though we have stepped back in time to the 16th Century. Together we will explore the courtyards and Tudor Kitchens, we will sense the smells and sounds of a busy working environment where sumptuous meals were prepared by the many servants for the Court of King Henry VIII. We will ascend to the upper floors to view the magnificent Tudor State Apartments which includes some of the finest artwork and tapestries from the period such as the Abraham Tapestries and the painting of the Family of Henry VIII. Walk through the Great Hall and along the Haunted Gallery where I shall tell the ghost story of Catherine Howard, King Henry VIII's doomed fifth wife. Then we will move into the Baroque side of the palace built in 1689 by Queen Mary II & King William III to rival Versailes near Paris.

Il Tamigi tiene insieme la città. Lungo le sue rive si trovano il Parlamento con il Big Ben, la Torre di Londra con i gioielli della Corona, il Tower Bridge e la lunga passeggiata della South Bank, che passa davanti al London Eye, al Globe di Shakespeare e alla Tate Modern. La cattedrale di St Paul e l'abbazia di Westminster ancorano lo skyline più antico, mentre nel quartiere finanziario si affollano le torri di vetro.
