Then visit Westminster Abbey, which is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings.

Start with a walking tour of the history, culture, and legends of one of Europe’s best-loved cities. Head through Green Park to Buckingham Palace, watch the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun only - 10am tour).
