Winston Churchill and London in WW2 Walking Tour

Visit the epicentre of British democracy where decisions were made and plans were laid to repel a German invasion as bombs rained down on London in the Blitz. This WW2 walking tour includes entrance to Churchill’s War Rooms to carry on your adventure into a not-so-distant past.

It’s time to go back to the 1940s. Big Ben no longer sounds. Air raid sirens are the norm. German bombing raids come under cover of darkness. The population lives with rations and restrictions. Many Brits lay down their lives in Europe and beyond.

You’re invited to the opening ceremony at the Tower of London, to be first in to explore the Crown Jewels, to join us on an adventure from the old City to the regal city of Westminster. Welcome to the Ultimate Royal London experience.

Why join the queue when you can be first into the Tower of London to enjoy the opening ceremony led by a Beefeater and see the Crown Jewels without the crowds?

We’re about to read you the story of London, a tale of two cities where you’ll be exploring from crowns to confessions.

After benefiting from early access and a special ceremony with the Beefeaters, you’ll explore the Tower that has been keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in the 11th-century.

Get inside Buckingham Palace on an incredibly small group tour of London’s royal City of Westminster - one will be doing the Royal wave before one knows it.

Discover thousands of years of royal history on a spectacular walking tour that includes a ticket to get inside Buckingham Palace, the monarch's official London residence.

Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, Horseguards Parade - the stones of the landmarks of Westminster tell tales of centuries of England’s royal dynasties from Saxon Kings to Virgin Queens and onwards through the longest-reigning monarch of all time - our beloved Queen Elizabeth II - to her son King Charles III.

Come along on a small-group adventure with your expert English-speaking guide through over 1000 years of history. Capture the ultimate Westminster snapshots as you visit the most iconic telephone box in the city and the Lifeguards who, on horseback, guard the entrances to the royal residences.

No tour of Royal Westminster would be complete without seeing a Royal Palace or two en route and on this tour. You’ll see three with the crowning jewel being the home of King Charles III - Buckingham Palace.

Witness one of the most dazzling ceremonies in the world with an expert guide - get closer to the action.

England is known for fish and chips, four seasons in a day, warm ale, history in spades, and of course, a deeply ingrained age-old love for pomp and ceremony. Join Urban Saunters as we serve a slice of world-famous ceremonial action with this small-group Changing of the Guards experience.

Discover the fascinating life of our longest reigning monarch with this special commemorative walking tour. Saunter with us to the heart of Westminster, our royal borough, to hear the stories of her record-setting reign.

In June 2022, the nation came together in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, and her unprecedented 70 years on the throne. In September of the same year, we came together again to mourn the passing of our nation’s matriarch.

When she was crowned in 1953, the Beatles were still four years away from the meeting, mankind was a long way from that lunar first step and most of the country didn't even have a TV to watch the new queen officially take the throne.

Her lifetime was one of great change, within her family, the royal institution, the country, and the world itself. But as Her Majesty said herself, “Change is a constant… the way we embrace it defines our future.”

And how she embraced it.

Let us read you the story of London, a tale of two cities. From a visit to the Tower of London in the old city to a walking tour in the regal city of Westminster, join us for the Ultimate Royal London experience.

From crowns to confessions, the Tower of London has been keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in 1079. A spectacular edifice, it has lived many lives- as a mint, an observatory, a zoo, an armory, a royal palace, a treasury, and most notoriously, as a place of execution. Home to both the Beefeaters and the Crown Jewels today, the Tower’s story is one of intrigue, scandal, and ceremony waiting to be discovered.

Meet your expert English-speaking guide who will give you the lowdowns and highlights of this 11th-century fortress before you go inside the Tower to discover it on your own. Top tip- head straight for the crown jewels, meet the ravens and don’t miss the White Tower, the oldest part.

Rejoin your guide for a relaxing cruise of the River Thames as you hear the stories of St Pauls, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Romans, and the impact this great river has had on the lives of Londoners since its banks were first settled.

But your experience does not stop there!

Explore the history of crime and law enforcement in London with two gentlemen who know it best.

On this one-of-a-kind journey, you will travel from the gin-soaked, crime-ridden slums of 18th century Covent Garden to the formation of London’s First Police Service and onwards to modern days through stories of London’s dark underbelly.
