A curated journey through the experience
Buckingham Palace
Maybe the Queen will be in residence? Look up at the flag, if the Royal Standard is flying "one is home".
20 minutesWestminster Abbey
In recent years Princess Diana's funeral was held here, and the marriage of her son Prince William to Catherine Middleton, both of which were watched by millions around the world.
20 minutesHouses of Parliament
A fire devastated the original Palace in the time of Henry VIII and he moved out, however his advisers and shire representatives continued to meet in the rooms that escaped the fire. This continued until 1834 when another fire destroyed the Parliament buildings. The present building complete with "Big Ben" was finished in 1870.
20 minutesWhitehall
Just before we get to Trafalgar Square, Sherlock Holmes fans may like to see Great Scotland Yard, and The Sherlock Holmes Pub, a location from Hound of The Baskervilles.
35 minutesTrafalgar Square
There are some interesting and beautiful buildings around this square, let me tell you about them before we move on.....
20 minutesCovent Garden
Now the area is full of street performers, busy shops, restaurants and cafes. A must do stop when in London.
30 minutesInner Temple
You will see the building where Shakespeare performed Twelfth Night for the first time, a fountain that inspired Charles Dickens, and the English headquarters of The Knight's Templar.
30 minutesSt Bride's Church
Let me show you a hidden medieval chapel, charred remains from the Great Fire of London and a Roman Pavement in this little known Museum.
25 minutesYe Olde Cheshire Cheese
Lets get a spot by the fire and I will tell you all about Polly the Parrot, Charles Dickens, Samuel Johnson and the Hellfire Club who all enjoyed drinking here.
1 hourSt. Paul's Cathedral
Just a short stroll from the Cathedral there are buildings that survived the great fire, and the spot where William Wallace (Braveheart) was executed. Sherlock Holmes fans may like to also see St Bart's, the hospital where Holmes and Watson first met.
30 minutesBank of England
The City of London or Square Mile is the ancient heart of London and home to the financial district. The Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, and the spooky Cornhill Devils are highlights on this point of the tour, as well as Ebeneezer Scrooges Counting House and Charles Dickens favourite restaurant, which are all reached by walking down some of London's oldest surviving courts and alleys.
30 minutesLeadenhall Market
One of London's oldest and prettiest markets on the site of a Roman cross road. It's no wonder that Leadenhall Market has featured in some of the worlds most famous movies and novels. Most recently as a filming location for the Harry Potter Films, and the market where Ebeneezer Scrooge sends the boy to get the biggest Turkey on Christmas morning.
20 minutesThe Monument
The Monument itself is 62 Meters high, and has 311 steps to the top. The view is well worth the effort, and those wishing to make the climb are more than welcome.
