Offered in: English

This walking tour will visit many places relating to the Queen. From where she was born to her funeral and much more in between.

We will see her favourite shops, where she would eat out and various homes and palaces that she lived in through her long life as well as learning about different events in the life of the Queen.

See neighbourhoods and districts in London that you'd never normally visit before visiting ceremonial places famous for parades and royal spectacles as well as following in the footsteps of her solemnly observed but majestic funeral.

We loved the Queen, I even sang for her when I was a boy and we want to show you our love and appreciation of our late Queen when you come on this very special tour. There is a summer option which includes entry tickets to Buckingham Palace State Rooms.

God Save The Queen.
