Overview

See 20+ of London's most iconic sights in a private 3-hour tour, then enter the incredible Churchill War Rooms!

Afterwards, you'll visit the Churchill War Rooms to discover the secrets of the underground nerve centre where Churchill and his war cabinet lived, worked, and planned victory in the 2nd World War.

It will be an enjoyable, educational, and entertaining stroll through the historic Westminster area. From Palaces and stories of the Monarchy to Parliament Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and so much more!
