London: Historic Westminster & the Mall

Tour Historic Westminster A walking tour around historic Westminster, London - We'll discuss the history spanning the full-breadth of British history from the Medieval Era to the Present day. We'll go by Parliament and visit the special entrance reserved only for the King, see the heavy cavalry troopers at Horse Guards, see the storied history of the statues and homes along the Mall, and end outside Buckingham Palace. Our journey will take us from the humble beginnings of Saxon England, through the turmoil of the English Civil War, through the innovations of the Victorian Era, the destruction of the World Wars, and through to the reign of our third King Charles. Along the way we'll see statues, important buildings, and hidden history. Led by British-American historian Darrell Rivers. - Parliament & Big Ben - Parliament Square - Whitehall - Horse Guards Parade - The Mall & St. James's Park - Waterloo Place - St. James's Palace - Buckingham Palace
