- Westminster Abbey - Begin the day with priority entry into Westminster Abbey, the ideal time to explore Britain’s most treasured church. With a history spanning over a millennium, this Gothic marvel is the traditional site for coronations and the resting place of monarchs and national icons like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and William Wilberforce. During the visit, a local expert guide will explain how the British monarchy influenced the nation’s transition to democracy, along with intriguing facts about Winston Churchill, one of the few non-royals to lie in state at the Abbey after his passing.
- Houses of Parliament - Next, explore The Houses of Parliament. Enjoy a guided tour of British Democracy with a certified, Blue Badge tour guide, rather than using the audio guide. Visit the House of Commons Chamber, where Britain’s elected Members of Parliament convene. Proceed to the House of Lords Chamber, where peers with inherited titles from the nation’s noblest bloodlines once sat. Discover key historical moments of the building, including a thwarted bomb plot in 1605 that is still commemorated today (ever heard of Guy Fawkes Night?). Walk in the footsteps of Henry VIII and Winston Churchill. History, legend, lore, and a wealth of pomp and circumstance blend as you experience nearly a thousand years of history with one of London’s finest guides.
