We meet at Green Park Underground station where we will walk through Green Park, one of three Royal Parks in the area., to Buckingham Palace. Where we will watch the world famous changing of the guard. This tradition has been going on for centuries and the British are the best at displaying pomp and glory. We will then walk up the Royal Mall where we will pass two more Royal Residences (Clarence House & St James Palace) At the top of the Royal Mall we arrive at Admiralty Arch and Trafalgar Sqaure. Lord Nelson, one of the most famous Royal Navy Admirals in British history sits here. He was a firm favourite of the King & Queen during his time. We then walk down Whitehall (the site of another Royal Palace), past Downing St, to Westminster Palace, our last Palace, where we will see the seat of British Democracy that was always at odds with the British Royal Family.
This tour is a gentle stroll through some of the most famous streets in the world. I will tell you amazing stories about the Monarchy and you will see the Monarchy in action with the Changing of the Guard and the Horse Guards on Whitehall. Quintessentially British walking tour!
