Westminster 3-Hour Guided Walking Tour & Entry to Churchill's War Rooms
This comprehensive London walking tour combines Westminster's most famous landmarks with exclusive access to Churchill's War Rooms. Starting in Green Park, your expert English-speaking guide leads you through centuries of British history whilst exploring the political heart of the capital. The small-group format ensures a personal experience away from the crowds.
Your Westminster tour takes in Buckingham Palace, where you might witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony on select morning departures. Walk through Trafalgar Square, past Downing Street, and admire Westminster Abbey's Gothic architecture. See the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben before crossing the Thames to discover Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and views of The Shard.
The tour concludes at Churchill's War Rooms, the underground bunker that served as Britain's wartime command centre during World War II. Your included audio guide reveals the secrets of these preserved rooms, including strategy chambers and Churchill's personal quarters. The rooms were cleverly mislabelled as the 'Stockwell bunker' to confuse enemy forces during the war.
