Here you see impressive monuments to kings, queens, famous scientists, musicians, poets and the Unknown Warrior. At the heart of the Abbey, you will see the Coronation Chair made in 1301, on which our kings and queens have been crowned since 1066, and where many state weddings and funerals have taken place.

Back on the coach, other famous London sights that we see on our way include Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and Downing Street - the London residence of the Prime Minister - to Trafalgar Square watched over by Lord Nelson from the top of the 202 foot Nelson’s Column. You’ll then see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.

Next, time for a hearty well-earned lunch in a lovely traditional London Pub.

After lunch we join a Thames River Cruise, you’ll get stunning uninterrupted views of the Gothic style Houses of Parliament, the London Eye perched high over the River, the South Bank Arts Complex built for the 1951 Festival of Britain and of course many of London’s famous bridges.

Jet black ravens guard this ancient fortress steeped in centuries of murder, treason and the untold secrets of the condemned...  Hear the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey - Queen for 9 days, and the story of the 2 young Princes who were never seen again, as well as other tales of royals and noblemen meeting their end within the cold cruel walls of the Tower.  A hallowed spot even before the fortress was ever built, it’s hardly any surprise the ghosts of the Tower linger long after you leave...  The splendidly dressed Beefeaters will tell you about the Tower’s history, and of course you must visit the Crown Jewels including the 6,000 year old Koh-I-Noor diamond worn by all the Queens of England since Victoria as well as the other regalia used during coronation ceremonies.
