Westminster Welcome - Covent Garden to Parliament Square

New to London? Then this is the perfect tour to ‘welcome you to Westminster’

I will take you to the major landmarks in this historic borough, and don't worry - this tour is not just a list of names and dates you won’t remember two minute later! I have many interesting stories to make the history come alive.

Covent Garden  - Theatre’s re-birth and the best actor you have never heard of.

Trafalgar Square - What is George Washington standing on'? What is Nelson looking at?

The Mall - Elizabeth’s red carpet and the special forces.

St James Palace/Clarence House/Lancaster house -  A childhood home/A royal residence/Lockdown wine!

Buckingham palace - Guards and a break-in!

St James park -  Pelicans and a mishap with fireworks.

Then to the best place for a photograph of the Houses of Parliament - my opinion ;-) before we get to…

Jewel Tower - How the stock market burned parliament!

Parliament square -  stories from the Abbey and the only gravestone that it is forbidden to step on.

A check of the time on the iconic Elizabeth tower will reveal I have absolutely, definitely not ran over time (!) and I’ll wrap it up with the final story of how religious persecution almost led to the destruction of everything around us...
