6. Stand in Trafalgar Square, often described as London's common room. This is where Londoners come to celebrate, commiserate, protest, and party! Surrounded by the iconic four lions at the base of Nelson's columns, this is one of the world's most recognised sites.

7. You'll then pay a visit to Royal Horse Guards. This open space is home to the King's Life Guard, as well as their horses, and is the backdrop to the Monarchs annual birthday celebration: Trooping the Colour.

9. Although we cannot see the War Rooms, you will be walking on top of the most important war-time structures in the county as we make our way through the governmental centre of Whitehall. These purpose built rooms, underneath the treasury, are where Winston Churchill led the British forces during World War Two. Now open to the public as a Museum, this is one of our favourite places to recommend!

Originally built over 1,000 years ago, Westminster Abbey is the resting place of numerous Kings, Queens and famous figures.

This is the centre of the UK's legislature, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The building itself is largely Victorian but contains within it one of the most famous buildings in the country: Westminster Hall. From trials to coronation banquets, laying-in-state to executions, Westminster Hall has seen it all since it was first built back in 1097.
