With your 5 hour London Highlights tour we will travel through time going back to the city's Roman roots, through the Medieval period right up to the modern day, taking in the major sights of St. Pauls, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace plus many more Throughout the whole tour my aim will be to keep everything light hearted, fun and memorable on each of the places we visit. We will not be confined to the taxi, and as opportunities arise, we can always stop for those much wanted photo opportunities and at times perhaps a small stroll to the more advantageous spots.

Today, Buckingham Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy, it serves as the venue... 2. **Houses of Parliament** (15m) - The Palace of Westminster, to give it its official name, serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Both Houses work on behalf of UK citizens to check and challenge the work of... 3. **Westminster Abbey** (15m) - The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs, as well as the scene of 16 Royal weddings. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245.

An Armoury, an Observatory, and a Royal Zoo. 3 Queens of England lost their heads here - Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey. The Tower is where the Crown Jewels are kept (used in all coronations of our Kings and Queens). 6. **Tower Bridge** (15m) - has become a recognisable London landmark. It is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) upstream, which has led to a popular urban legend about an American purchasing the wrong bridge. Several stunt pilots have flown underneath the bridge. 7. **Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall** (15m) - The original and official entrance to both St James’s Palace and Buckingham Palace. A Guard is mounted here by members of the Household Cavalry, either the Blues and Royal or the Lifeguards (Kings Troop in July) – the Guard Changes 11am daily.
