Westminster Abbey The Abbey is this country's most important church and has been the site of every coronation since 1066. The present building was finished in 1500 and is the resting place for most of our medieval monarchs and their families. Last seen by millions world-wide at the funeral for Diana, Princess of Wales, it is the church in which we hold most of our important State and Royal religious occasions. (Closed on Sundays because of services) Changing of The Guard at Buckingham Palace Alight near The Mall and make your way to the London home of the Royal Family, via St. James Palace and there you will see the famous Changing of the Guard. *When the Changing of the Guard does not take place you will visit Horseguards Parade and see the colourful cavalcade of the Household Cavalry. Cruise on the River Thames Gliding smoothly through the heart of London, you will enjoy some superb riverside views of some of our majestic buildings. Tower of London & the Crown Jewels Quite simply the most impressive medieval fortress in Britian. For hundreds of years it was the home of our monarchs since the White Tower was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Your guide will tell you of its grim history, used sometimes as a prison, palace, songeon, zoo, mint, site of torture and bloody executions. See also the fabulous Crown Jewels in their splendid new setting, see the Beefeaters, hear the legend of the Ravens and much more. Ancient City of London & Docklands The City is the oldest part of London and contains most of our main financial and legal institutions. You will see the Stock Exchange, Bank of England and other famous buildings. Time and traffic permitting (usually on Sundays) you will venture to the outskirts of the Docklands London's third and newest city. St Paul's Cathedral This magnificent church is the masterpiece of Sir Christopher Wren, the great English architech. Completed in 1710 after just 35 years of building, it is the seat of the Bishop of London and stands on a site that has witnessed Christian worship for over 1400 years. Housing the tombs of Wellington and Nelson amongst many others, you will stop for more photographs before returning you to selected drop off points.*Please note on Sundays you will visit the London Eye instead of Westminster Abbey. |
