Buckingham Palace Walk with High Tea at Kensington Palace

The journey, in full

We commence the tour in the aristocratic quarter of London where Dukes & Lords lived and played. On the morning tour on select days we will see the guards prepare for the changing of the guard. On all tours we see St James Palace, the oldest Royal Building in the West of London. We then head to Buckingham Palace, the main Royal Residence in London and walk to the home of the Duke of Wellington which sits at the corner of Hyde Park. We will then jump on an iconic London bus, minutes down the road to the Royal Albert Hall, The Albert Memorial, and have a leisurely stroll in Kensington Gardens. We will see the beautiful gardens created for Queen Caroline and learn of the romance between Albert and his Queen Victoria. Approaching the final Royal Palace in Kensington we stop by the Golden Gates where Diana's memory is preserved and finally admire her statue in the mesmerising sunken garden where Harry and William marked her birthday in 2022. We will then experience the full splendour of High Tea in a magnificent Royal Building in the shadow of the Palace. Fresh Sandwiches, Scones and Cakes are provided with your choice from 15 different teas, the staple drink of the British people. During the tea service you guide will describe the fascinating history of our national drink and the ceremony of afternoon tea. The tour does not include entry to the interior of the Palaces. After Tea at Kensington it often possible to purchase tickets on the day to see the State Rooms
