Royal London and Windsor Castle

A full day tour visiting St Paul's Cathedral and the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace in the morning, and then out to Windsor Castle and Runnymede.

This morning we will take you past all the famous sights around London's West End, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column. We include a guided tour of St Paul's Cathedral and a stop at Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard.

Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square.

The tour begins with a panoramic drive around Parliament Square, to see Westminster Abbey, where many of our Kings, Queens, Statesmen, poets and writers are buried. See Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

St Paul’s Cathedral

A guided tour of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece – St Paul’s Cathedral - crowned by the magnificent dome that is so much a part of the London skyline. The Cathedral was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666.  In recent years it has seen the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, to Lady Diana Spencer and, most recently, the thanksgiving services for both the Golden Jubilee and 80th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen.

Buckingham Place and The Changing of the Guard

Accompanied by a military band, a detachment of the Queen's Foot Guard march to Buckingham Palace in their bearskins and red tunics, and a change with the Old Guard.

Windsor Castle

This afternoon we visit Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied Castle in the world.  Its proud, strong walls dominate the delightful town that has grown around the castle over the years.  Generations of Kings and Queens have conducted their business here and enjoyed its grounds, and you get a real sense of British history breathing through the walls of Windsor Castle, first founded by William the Conqueror a day’s march from London. You’ll see the lavishly decorated State Apartments* containing priceless furniture in glorious colours and St George’s Chapel, home to the 14th Century Order of the Royal Garter, our senior chivalric order.

Runnymede

Departing Windsor we make our way to the magnificent Runnymede, where King John met his barons in 1215 and agreed to seal the Magna Carta that was to have a profound influence on rights and freedoms, not only in England, but across much of the civilised world.

We will also see the memorial to John F Kennedy on an acre of land given to America by the people of Britain.
