The Journey
Buckingham Palace
Experience the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, the official London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch. Witness the iconic Changing of the Guard ceremony, a dazzling display of precision and pageantry that embodies British tradition. While tours of the State Rooms are available during the summer months, even a glimpse of the palace's majestic facade is enough to evoke a sense of royal history and splendor. A must-see for anyone seeking to connect with the enduring legacy of the British monarchy.
Westminster Abbey
Step into Westminster Abbey, a magnificent Gothic church steeped in over a thousand years of British history. This is the coronation church of English and British monarchs, and the final resting place of kings, queens, poets, and notable figures. Explore its breathtaking architecture, marvel at the stained glass windows, and discover the stories etched into every stone. From royal weddings to solemn state occasions, Westminster Abbey remains a powerful symbol of British identity and a testament to the nation's rich past.
Big Ben
Stand in awe before Big Ben, the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster. A symbol of London and the United Kingdom, its chimes are instantly recognizable around the world. While tours inside the Elizabeth Tower (where Big Ben resides) are limited, the sight of this iconic landmark and the sound of its resonant bells are an unforgettable experience. A photographic opportunity not to be missed, especially when illuminated at night.

Relive the greatest moments in Wimbledon history through fascinating exhibits, interactive displays, and historical artifacts.
