Activity itinerary

Green Park
A peaceful royal park and the perfect introduction to London’s green spaces — a calm moment before the royal grandeur ahead.
Buckingham Palace
The King’s official London residence and one of the world’s most famous royal landmarks. A must-see!
Clarence House
The London home of King Charles III, steeped in royal history and tradition.
The Mall
London’s grand ceremonial boulevard, lined with Union Flags and used for royal parades and national celebrations.
Changing of the Guard
Iconic Classic London spectacle with marching soldiers, music and ceremony — pure British pageantry. ( Please note this takes place on particular times and days, so will be subject to times of booking.)
St. James's Palace
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
One of London’s oldest royal palaces and still a working royal residence today. Built by Henry VIII in the 1530s, it’s where royal proclamations are made and where kings and queens are officially announced. A powerful slice of living royal history tucked just behind Buckingham Palace.
St. James's Park
London’s most beautiful royal park and a true oasis in the heart of the city. Wander past the lake with views of Buckingham Palace, spot pelicans that have lived here since the 1600s, and enjoy one of the finest skyline views in London stretching from Horse Guards to the London Eye. A proper London moment.
Admiralty Arch
One of London’s grandest gateways and the ceremonial entrance to The Mall. Built in 1912, it links Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace and was designed as a monument to Queen Victoria. Walk beneath its towering arches and you’re literally stepping into royal London. A proper “wow” moment — and one of the city’s most underrated photo spots.
Trafalgar Square
London’s historic central square, home to Nelson’s Column, iconic fountains and the National Gallery — always buzzing with life.
Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall
  • 5m
A vast ceremonial parade ground where you may spot the mounted guards outside the royal entrance.
Whitehall
The political heart of Britain, lined with government buildings, memorials and statues of historic leaders.
Downing Street
The official home of the UK Prime Minister — one of the most famous front doors in the world.
Houses of Parliament
The unmistakable Gothic skyline of British democracy, sitting proudly on the River Thames.
Big Ben
The Iconic Famous Clock Tower
Westminster Abbey
A 1,000-year-old royal church — the site of coronations, royal weddings and the resting place of Britain’s greatest figures.
