What travelers think of our London experiences
What you’ll do
You'll follow your local London host on a journey through London's royal past as you explore the age-old route from Westminster to Covent Garden, although you sadly won’t be taking this route in the royal carriage.
Sorry. Onwards and upwards though! This iconic district, which has deeply entrenched political and royal roots, is steeped in history dating back centuries. Get to know some of the political histories of Westminster, if you’re that way inclined, and soak up the beautiful surroundings of its pristine royal parks, treasured statues, memorials, and galleries.
If your vibe is more on the regal side of things, a stroll through St James’s Park, past Buckingham Palace to the luxury food store where the royal household is known to have their shopping done should do the trick.
Take in the architecture of the UK Parliament, and Westminster Abbey, which has seen its fair share of royal weddings over the years. And if you are feeling thirsty your host can show you to a pub renowned for its political and parliamentary regulars, or you could indulge in an afternoon tea at the opulent food emporium we mentioned earlier. Scones, anyone?
