This private walking tour will take you across some of the most beautiful attractions in Central London and all with very important Royal associations. Your local guide will meet either meet you at your hotel or at the tour starting point of St. James Park Underground Station.
The walk starts by heading to St James’ Park. Originally created by King Henry VIII and so the oldest Royal Park in London. Â The park is renowned for its wonderful variety of birds that live in and around the lake.
See the royal parks and the Mall.
Next up we will visit the first of several Royal Palaces and walk a short distance to St. James’ Palace. Â This old palace used to be the residence of the monarch until 1837. Â These days it is occupied by no less than King Charles as well as several others.
From here we will walk along Londons primary ceremonial road, The Mall which leads to Buckingham Palace but before we get to the famous home of our sadly departed HRH Queen Elizabeth II, we will see Clarence House, a home with a lengthy Royal history that for many decades was the residence of the Queen Mother.
There is no avoiding the magnificent Buckingham Palace and we will stop here for a while to take some wonderful photos as you learn a little about the history of the palace and about The Queen before we continue past the Royal Mews.
How many Royal Palaces can we see in one tour? Plenty that’s how many!
Time to move on from this particular part of London, we head over to another Royal Park, Green Park and along Constitution Hill to a number of marvellous memorials and a fabulous monumental Arch with the largest bronze statue in Europe sat atop.
After stopping at Number 1 London, that’s not just Ye Olde England Tours but also an actual address of a great house that once belonged to the Duke of Wellington, we enter Hyde Park.
When in the middle of Hyde Park you can almost forget that you are in the middle of London with is acres of parkland, meadows, lakes and thousands of trees. It is little wonder that it was once a Royal hunting ground. We will visit the beautiful Serpentine before visiting the Princess Diana Memorial.
Going back 150 years further we go on a little further to see the magnificent Prince Albert Memorial and neighbouring Royal Hall before we finish this private guided tour passing through Kensington Gardens at the front gates of Kensington Palace, official London Royal residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
You never know who you might see. HRH the Duke of Edinburgh once gate-crashed my tour. We’ve also seen King Charles, Prince William and others. If you want to specialise a little then we also have a Queen Elizabeth II Tour and a Princes Diana Tour.
