Mingle with the Muggles all day!
This is our all day London sightseeing tour with Harry Potter's London film sites included. Fantastic fun and value for the whole family. Your guided tour takes you past many of the major sights and landmarks of London. We will stop and explore Westminster Abbey, where monarchs have been crowned since 1066. Stand outside Buckingham Palace and watch the Changing of the Guard, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and Eros, and much more before stopping for lunch. No London tour is complete without a lunch in a pub where the food and atmosphere is excellent.
After lunch we continue our tour with a visit to the Tower of London, the most impressive medieval fortress in Britain! Built by William the Conqueror, during its history it has been a palace, a prison, a zoo, a royal mint, an observatory, armoury and a place of execution, and we will see the Crown Jewels, the ravens and famous Beefeaters. From here we move on to Tower Bridge and then into the City of London, the one square mile that has been inhabited since the Romans. There's so much to see here it's breathtaking and we will be visiting the modern financial district that stands side by side with the ancient sites.
In addition to visiting the city we visit Shakespeare's Globe and the Rose Theatre site, viewing the Roman wall that once surrounded the city and visiting the oldest church in the city built in 1123, your guide will show you the London very few visitors get to see! We will carry on visiting many more of the city's unusual and fascinating rarely seen monuments and treasures. Still within the city we will visit the site where the Great Fire of London started in 1666, then we travel the short distance around to St Paul's Cathedral.
