What to expect

  1. Houses of Parliament
    Pass by
    Historically a royal residence from the 11th century until a fire in 1512, now the seat of government and the meeting place for the two houses of the UK Parliament.
  2. Big Ben
    Pass by
    Big Ben is far more than just a clock. It's a powerful symbol, an icon of London and the UK, a masterpiece of Engineering and timekeeping, and a symbol of democracy and stability.
  3. Westminster Abbey
    Pass by
    Westminster Abbey is far more than just a church; it is the symbolic heart of the British nation, where history has been made for over a thousand years.
  4. St. James's Park
    15m
    St. James's Park is a royal park with a history that stretches back over 470 years. Its establishment solidified the area as a centre of royal life, a status it still holds today.
  5. Buckingham Palace
    Pass by
    Buckingham Palace is the official headquarters of the monarchy in London and the backdrop for the nation's most famous royal ceremonies including military guard change, which draw millions of spectators from around the world every year.
  6. Churchill War Rooms
    Pass by
    The War Rooms are a secret underground complex beneath the Treasury building in Whitehall. They were in use 24 hours a day from August 1939 until Japan's surrender in September 1945.
  7. Trafalgar Square
    25m
    The square is named after the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), one of the most important British naval victories in history. It is the city's primary place for the public to gather, celebrate, protest, and socialize. It's not a royal garden or a government building—it's a truly public space.
  8. St. James's Palace
    Pass by
    St. James's Palace is the senior royal palace and the official working headquarters of the monarchy. Its importance is more constitutional and historical than residential.
  9. Clarence House
    Pass by
    For nearly six decades, Clarence House was the official London residence of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, from 1953 until her death in 2002, and it has been the official London home of the Prince of Wales and his family since 2003.
  10. Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall
    Pass by
    Horse Guards Parade is the annual stage for the King's official birthday parade, known as Trooping the Colour.
  11. The National Gallery
    Pass by
    A World-Class Collection in One Place: You can see seminal works by the greatest artists in history without traveling across Europe. In a single day, you can stand before van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait, da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks, Turner's The Fighting Temeraire, and Van Gogh's Sunflowers.
