Overview of your London tour:

Palaces galore! Buckingham, St James's & Clarence House. Not to mention the Household Cavalry guarding the ceremonial entrance to the palaces - yes, those magnificent guards on horseback. Depending on the time and day we may catch the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Oh, and enjoy a stroll through Royal Parks, down Whitehall, centre of present-day government and scene of a royal execution, passing the entrance to Downing Street, home of the Prime Minister. At Westminster Abbey admire its gothic architecture, while hearing of its royal connections. A detour past a statue of misunderstood Queen Anne, back towards Buckingham Palace and past the Royal Mews. Then dip into wealthy Belgravia, with its discreet royal history. See the hotel Kate stayed in the night before her marriage to William; the church associated with a tragedy that befell Prince Philip's family; and where Queen Victoria's mother lived after her daughter was crowned. Talking of crowns, if you liked 'The Crown', we'll also be location-spotting!
