A walking tour for the Coronation! We'll discuss the history of coronations and walk the route the King will take from the Palace to Westminster Abbey, seeing the important sites, soldiers, and statues along the way. Then we'll go into Westminster Abbey and see the sacred location where Kings and Queens have been anointed for more than 900 years!

I will be in a suit with my umbrella standing on the steps of the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, facing the Palace. We'll meet by the statue of Industry, which has a man with a hammer standing next to a lion.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
