Description

Walking tour - “From Big Ben to Buckingham” Your excursion will start near the famous clock Big Ben  - not only tourists but also locals like to call them so! Nearby is the most famous and recognizable building in London – Westminster Palace. The tower is adjacent to it. It was once the residence of the British kings, and now it is the building of the modern parliament. Next, perhaps the most incredible place in the British capital - Westminster Abbey. The coronations of British monarchs have been held in this majestic building for many years. And here they are buried. 3300 kings, writers, scientists and politicians rest here with honor: Elizabeth I, Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton... Then, you will go to  Whitehall Street, where the entire political elite of Britain is represented: from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Office of the Prime Minister. - You will hear about the brilliant palace of Henry VIII - Whitehall, the largest and most luxurious palace in Europe of its time. You will sympathize with the tragic story of Charles I - the king who laid his head on the chopping block; moreover, you will see the place of his execution with your own eyes. Next point - Trafalgar Square — the very 'heart' of the English capital. On the way to the final goal of the journey, you will look at several more places: you will see the Duke of York's Column, the Royal Horse Guards building and walk through the small but luxurious St. James's Park. St. James's Park, according to most tourists, is the most beautiful and interesting park in London. You finish your journey near Buckingham Palace. It is one of the most luxurious palaces in the whole of Britain and the official residence of the reigning monarch. You will learn incredible facts about this palace, about the customs and peculiarities of the life of the British ruling family and get acquainted with everyone's favorite unusual guards in bear hats.
