Westminster is the very centre of royal and political London: home to the Queen and Parliament this area is synonymous with pomp, pageantry and power. On this walk you will see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, as well as Buckingham Palace, the Queen's London residence, plus Westminster Abbey, church of royal coronations for 1000 years. But behind Westminster's corridors of power are plenty of tales of gossip and intrigue - political, royal and religious. Hear these stories as we explore the rarely visited 18th century back streets and enjoy one of London's most beautiful parks (and maybe see the pelicans that live there). Striking modern architecture is found in Westminster too, providing the wonderful contrast that helps to make London such an intriguing city.
