As you wander, your guide will animate London’s royal history, and recount tales of the monarchy, notable figures, and royal dramas to fully engage you in this cornerstone of British heritage.
The tour concludes at Kensington Palace. Prior to your self-guided exploration of the royal residence, savour a traditional afternoon tea at the palace’s Orangery. Enjoy scones, sandwiches, and more in a charming baroque setting. Then, set off to discover this historic palace at your own pace, picturing life as a young Queen Victoria amidst these grand surroundings. This tour seamlessly blends British tradition, history, and elegance - an ideal London experience for both royal enthusiasts and first-time visitors.
