1. Westminster Abbey

Allow our fantastic kid-friendly guide to bring you face-to-face with centuries of British history as you travel through time to meet monarchs, poets, writers, scientists and explorers. Our guide will make sure both you and your children are entertained throughout your visit and with fascinating stories history will come to life before your very eyes! Westminster Abbey is a splendid mixture of architectural styles and is considered the finest example of Early English Gothic (1190–1300). It is the site of coronations and other ceremonies of national significance and not merely a beautiful place of worship. The abbey also provides a remarkable "who's who" of British history. It stands just west of the Houses of Parliament in the Greater London borough of Westminster. Situated on the grounds of a former Benedictine monastery. In 1987 Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret’s Church, and the Houses of Parliament were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. During this private kid-friendly tour you will see the most famous places in the Abbey such as the Coronation Chair, the Poet’s Corner, which hosts many graves and dedications to the greats of English literature. the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, The Lady Chappel and many more.

Duration: 90 mins

2. Houses of Parliament

As well as visiting Westminster Abbey, you will have the opportunity to take a walk around the City of Westminster itself and see some of London's most famous and iconic buildings and landmarks. From the outside, you will admire the Palace of Westminster, perhaps better known as the Houses of Parliament, the home of British democracy.

3. Big Ben

Just next to the Palace of Westminster is one of the most iconic sights and internationally recognizable monuments in the world, Big Ben. The name “Big Ben” is actually the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock, though it is commonly used to refer to both the clock and the clock tower itself. The original name of the tower housing Big Ben was “The Clock Tower”, but it was renamed “Elizabeth Tower” in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

4. St. James's Park

You will round off your tour with a relaxing stroll through the idyllic greenery of St. James's Park. One of the main features of the park is its lake with two islands, West Island and Duck Island. The latter is so-called due to the lake's collection of waterfowl, and you might even catch a glimpse of a resident colony of pelicans!
