Discover the West End, home to some of the world’s most prolific theaters, where you’ll pass by the renowned Royal Albert Hall before traveling through the City of Westminster and the City of London, the oldest part of the capital, and home to the financial district. See Marble Arch, historically used for royal processions, as well as the serene Hyde Park, with its lively Speakers’ Corner. Stop at Buckingham Palace, home of the King Charles III and site of the daily ‘changing of the guards’, an icon of British pageantry.

A Healthy Dose of History
Enjoy a private half day guided tour of Hampton Court Palace, the former home of King Henry VIII. Located upstream of Central London on the River Thames, The Palace was extended and developed after he acquired it in the 1520's. Its many royal occupants have ensured the palace has fabulous furnishings, tapestries and paintings. The Palace is set in 60 acres of formal gardens, which include the famous maze and Tudor kitchen, designed to feed the court of King Henry the VIII every day, which numbered over 600 people! View The Privy Garden. As it appears today, it is one of the most accurately reconstructed gardens thanks to the detailed records of the original 1702 garden. Admission tickets for Hampton Court Palace are included in your Welcome Package, and must be brought with you on your tour today.
Served in a elegant boutique hotel overlooking Kensington Palace, afternoon tea at the Milestone is a traditional English activity not to be missed. Perhaps even catch a glimpse of William and Kate while feeling like a royal in this sophisticated culinary treat. Indulge in finger sandwiches, a warm selection of freshly-baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream, and a brew of your choice. Elevate this epicurean experience with a glass of champagne.
