A 90-minute walking tour around Whitehall and Westminster to see the sites where Britain's Kings and Queens lived, loved and died.

Encompassing over 1,000 years of Royal history from the Saxons to the Stuarts, this tour will cover everything from the burning of London's largest Royal palace to the death of Charles I on a scaffold outside Banqueting House.

Banqueting House - Execution site of Charles I

You'll discover the scandals and love affairs that rocked the monarchy, learn about the betrayals and power struggles that played out within the Royal walls, and follow in the footsteps of everyone from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth I.

Along the way you'll see where Henry VIII married the doomed Anne Boleyn, where Shakespeare premiered one of his most famous plays, and discover which is the most senior Royal palace in London... and no, it's not Buckingham Palace - it's actually St. James's Palace!

Buckingham Palace - Charles III official residence

You'll also hear the interesting history of Westminster Abbey - first built by Edward the Confessor in 1042 and home to 40 Royal coronations, 18 Royal burials and 16 regal weddings.

Each tour is limited to just six people so guarantees a small group size, and is perfect for history enthusiasts and fans of period dramas like The Tudors, Becoming Elizabeth, The White Queen, Mary & George and Gunpowder.
