The tour guide will lead you on a journey from medieval times to the present day, unveiling hidden gems and intriguing tales along the way. Learn about a deposed queen, the noble art of falconry, and even some scandalous furniture that once adorned the royal chambers.

This Royal London walking tour is the perfect way to acquaint yourself with the British monarchy, delving into the evolving roles of kings and queens throughout history.

Continue to Clarence House, currently inhabited by the Prince of Wales and formerly the residence of Queen Elizabeth II, before marvelling at the grandeur of Lancaster House, built in 1825 for the ‘grand old’ Duke of York and now managed by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
