About this activity
Explore eight centuries of British royal architecture and intrigue on this comprehensive guided tour through London and beyond. Visit multiple palaces—from working royal residences to Henry VIII's Hampton Court—and understand how England's monarchy shaped the nation's most iconic landmarks.
London is steeped in Royal history having been a seat of power in England since the Romans developed it as a Trading port nearly 2000 years ago. London has an abundance of Royal homes past and present, and on this driven London tour we will see our British monarch's mansions from medieval castles to the current residential palaces of the Royal family.
We shall also be taking a little trip downstream of the River Thames to visit Hampton Court Palace, the top Tudor destination in Great Britain. Our journey out of London will take in the picturesque Royal Richmond Park before arriving at the world-famous Palace built by Cardinal Wolsey 500 years ago, and home to one of England's most notorious kings Henry VIII for his turbulent reign.
We can reflect on your Tour of London's Royal Palaces with a visit to a local pub for some traditional English cooking before you can even relax back in the comfort of a traditional London Black Cab to guide you back to your hotel if you like.
