London- An Essential History: Art, Architecture, Politics and Monarchy through the ages. (Not suitable for young children)

Welcome! My ‘London Essentials’ tour will cover the key sites within the historic royal quarter. Beginning at Wellington Arch marking the triumph of the Duke of Wellington against Napoleon, it ends at Westminster Abbey, the Royal Church of Coronation. On route, we will explore such highlights as Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Admiralty Arch, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, The Horse Guards Parade, St James Park and The Houses of Parliament.
 
I combine personal experience (my family has been in the city since 1783) with informed historical perspectives as an art historian, so I can share the distinctive character of each site with peculiar details, amusing facts, and local tales. My particular focus is the incredible history of the monarchy. As we walk, I will be sure to convey its far-reaching impact on the city, both politically and architecturally. 

PLEASE BE AWARE: This is a serious historical tour with information from someone who studied and gives lectures on Art History and the History of The Monarchy; if you more interested with the 'Fun Fact' type of tours, then is will most likely not be for you. I encourage questions as one of the principles of the tour, so please ask away, as it is important that you get the most out of the tour, this means that the tour can go over by some minutes depending on the amount questions. 

If you are a History or Art fanatic then this is absolutely the tour for you!
