What To Expect
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is not only a true piece of history but also a working church which has witnessed many special services - most recently the funeral service for HM Queen Elizabeth II, the wedding of Prince William and Kate, the coronation of multiple Kings and Queens, the visit of Dalai Lama and many other services and events. Find out about thousands of people buried in Westminster Abbey - Kings, Queens, poets, scientists, clock makers, engineers, physicians, composers – the list goes on. On this exclusive tour you’ll hear about the magic of Royal Coronations, see the coronation chair and walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens!
St. James's Park
St James’s Park is definitely a favourite to many Londoners and visitors. You can feel as if you are in the countryside without even leaving London! Lots of fun for kids and adults with the park’s residents – swans, white and black, herons, a huge variety of ducks and geese, parrots and squirrels. For all garden lovers the park offers a beautiful fiesta of colours and aromas!

5.00This was a wonderful experience! I had been to the abbey once as a child, but seeing it as an adult with the help and knowledge of our wonderful guide, made it an icredible experience. The Abbey itself it gorgeous on its own, but hearing all the fascinating stories aboult the monarchs who were buried and crowned there made it so much more fascinating for me. Our tour guide, Galina, took the experience to another level! Even my husband, who is not a history fan, was impressed! Highly recommend!
