Small Group Walking Tour of 25 London Sites and Palaces

London Westminster highlights include Changing of the Guard Trafalgar Square, 3 palaces, The Abbey, and Big Ben.  Maximum 10 walkers. This makes the tour more personal and more opportunity for asking questions and going at the group's pace. 
Visit the essential sights, walk the red mall, selfies outside Buckingham Palace, and wander through King Henry VIIIs hunting ground. 
Enter London's smallest square where gun duals and bear baiting were common. Need more selfies? I will show you the best and original red telephone boxes. Come with me to guide you back in time for a sense of what London has experienced over the centuries.   

Please bear in mind that the tour may over run on Monday Wednesday and Fridays when there is Changing of the Guard
