  • Big Ben (Pass by)

    Did you know that Big Ben is not the tower? The name actually belongs to the great bell inside. Down here at the Elizabeth Tower, your guide will tell you the story behind it and show you where you can get the best photo of the tower and the Thames.

  • Palace of Westminster (Pass by)

    The Palace of Westminster looks as if it has been here since the Middle Ages. In fact, it was mostly built after a major fire in 1834. In front of the magnificent facade, you will learn how the British Parliament works and hear some stories that aren't in the guidebook.

  • Trafalgar Square / Embankment (Pass by)

  • St. James's Park (Pass by)

    Now it gets green. In the city's oldest royal park, pelicans have lived for over 350 years; with a bit of luck, you will see them on the shore. From the small bridge over the lake, you have a view that many Londoners count among their favorites: Buckingham Palace on one side, the towers of Whitehall on the other.

  • Buckingham Palace (Pass by)

    Is the king at home? The flag on the roof tells you that, and your guide shows you what to look for. At the Victoria Memorial, you have time for photos of the palace and the famous balcony where the royals appear at major events. We are looking at Buckingham Palace from the outside.

    Finally, the big illuminated signs! Piccadilly Circus is one of London's most famous motifs. Here your guide says goodbye, and you are in the middle of the West End.
