During your Big Ben to Covent Garden walking tour, your local expert guide will take you off the beaten track to discover lesser-known, authentic neighborhood gems. You'll see both well-known and discreet sights:
- Big Ben and Parliament
- Charming parks and and lesser-known churches near Westminster Abbey
- Watch the queen's swans gliding idyllically through the ponds and protected bird sanctuaries among the secluded shrubberies and woodlands
- Buckingham Palace, where you can observe if the state flag is flying overhead—an indication that the Queen is in residence
- Westminster’s best street for shopping
- Enjoy a quick drink at one of central London’s best rooftop bars offering a relaxed atmosphere and great panoramic views of Trafalgar Square, London Eye and Big Ben
- Wander past the upmarket grocers frequented by the Queen (in actuality her staff) and London's most expensive restaurant, which fortunately offers slightly more affordable lunch options
- The seemingly chaotic Piccadilly Circus, which is often compared to New York's Time Square
- Navigate through the numerous squares and backstreets that lead to Covent Garden, with its glorious covered two-floor market surrounded by musicians and street-performers
