Royal Westminster Walk

Royal Westminster Walk is a guided introduction to the institutions, ceremonies and royal stories that shaped London. Parliament Square, the Abbey and the palace quarter become much more interesting when a guide connects the architecture with the people who used it.

Expect a substantial walk with time for questions and landmark views. Choose an experience whose admissions match your interests: an Abbey visit is very different from seeing its exterior, while views of Buckingham Palace do not include its State Rooms. The selected booking supplies the actual meeting point, route and runtime.

Allow a half day, wear shoes suitable for standing and walking, and check any interior access against the day's services or ceremonies. Independent access to the surrounding streets is free; guided interpretation and any included admissions are paid. Families should choose a guide and pace that suit their children's ages.
