Introduction to your Westminster adventure

Step into a world of history on this guided walking tour through Westminster, where you'll explore stories of state, power and war that have shaped Britain. Begin your journey by walking Downing Street, home to generations of Prime Ministers and still an active seat of government. Absorb insights from your English-speaking guide, whose knowledge brings alive the personalities, challenges and triumphs of Winston Churchill and others who shaped modern Britain.

Discover London’s political heart

As you wind through Whitehall, the political and ceremonial core of London, see the statue-laden Cenotaph and hear the stories behind this national war memorial. Pass the famous gates and landmarks like Horse Guards Parade and Downing Street, and experience the architectural drama of the Houses of Parliament and the soaring gothic majesty of Westminster Abbey, in use since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066.

Hidden gems and memorable sites

Your expert guide shares fascinating details and little-known facts, including England’s smallest police station—a compact 1926 box near Trafalgar Square that offers a glimpse into quirky British history. Along the way, you’ll see 20 major London sights, each with tales of pageantry, heroism, and daily life that bring the city’s past to vivid life.

Step into Churchill's War Rooms

The highlight of this tour is reserved for the Churchill War Rooms, an underground complex that once housed top-secret strategy sessions during WWII. Preserved since 1945, wandering these historic passages is like stepping back into an era of uncertainty and determination. The included official audio guide walks you through rooms filled with original war maps, communications equipment, and even Churchill's very own chair and desk—the same table where the D-Day plans were drawn up.

Churchill Museum experience

Within the War Rooms, explore the Churchill Museum for a deeper look at the former Prime Minister's leadership and legacy. Interactive exhibits feature his wartime speeches, archival films and documents, and clever personal items like sun lamps supplied for artificial Vitamin D. It’s a chance to better understand the human side of wartime leadership and the daily challenges faced by those working under London’s streets during the Blitz.
