Highlights of London Walking Tour with English Tea
A cosmopolitan city at the crossroads of history, London has much to offer both seasoned travelers and first-time visitors. But seeing the best of what this bustling metropolis has to offer can be daunting for visitors that attempt to go it alone. That’s why we have designed a tour to get the most out of a single day while still allowing you ample time to take in all the sights and sounds of London.
Want to see all of the major attractions in one afternoon? This walking tour, led by one of our very own local experts, will allow you to do just that.
We’ll begin at Trafalgar Square, home of the National Gallery and Nelson’s Column, followed by Whitehall, lined with the departments and ministries of Her Majesty’s Government, including the old Palace of Whitehall. It is from this building that King Charles II stepped out onto the scaffolding to be executed in 1649. You will also see the Horse Guards in their plumed silver helmets.
Then we’ll take a stroll on Downing Street before arriving at Parliament Square, where you will be treated to spectacular views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. After learning about the Palace of Westminster, home of the British Parliament, it’s on to Westminster Abbey, site of royal coronations and weddings, including the recent wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton in 2011.
We’ll wind down with a traditional and sumptuous English tea. Enjoy scones with jam and Devonshire cream, a selection of sandwiches and cakes, and of course, a pot of fresh tea, all served on fine china in the opulent interior of a luxury hotel – a lovely way to end a splendid day.
