What to expect

Your tour begins by walking through St James Park where your guide will tell you many stories about the history and legends of this former marshland area that Henry VII purchased in order to turn York Palace, subsequently renamed Whitehall, into a dwelling fit for a king.

Then you will head to watch the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace, the world-famous ceremony which is the oldest tradition at Buckingham Palace and is held either here or at Horse Guards Parade, depending on the day. After the breath-taking ceremony, The Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace welcomes you with their glory and splendour.

You will see the famous Diamond Jubilee Coach that was built to celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The other treasure of The Royal Mews is the Gold State Coach commissioned by George III in 1762, which has been used at every coronation since that of George IV in 1821.

Immerse yourself in London’s most cherished traditions with the precious knowledge and expertise of a local guide.
