Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace, with the stories behind them.

Start under the shadow of Big Ben and walk through a thousand years of power, politics and pageantry.

We'll see Westminster Abbey, where every coronation since 1066 has taken place; peek down Downing Street; cross Horse Guards Parade; and finish in St James's Park with a view of Buckingham Palace.

Expect scandal, beheadings, a few royal tantrums and plenty of tips on where to eat afterwards.

Meeting point

Parliament Square, by the Winston Churchill statue

    Worth every penny of the tip we gave. Can't believe it's free to book.
