Our adventure begins at the majestic Elizabeth Tower, famously known as Big Ben. From here, enjoy presentations into the intricate history of the Palace of Westminster, Houses of Parliament, the Great Hall, and the imposing Victoria Tower. Learn about the legendary figures who have shaped the course of British history, from Richard the Lionheart to Oliver Cromwell to Winston Churchill.

Next, we'll visit the historic Methodist Central Hall, a building steeped in significance. It served as both a spiritual sanctuary and a pivotal meeting place for the post-war United Nations. Nearby, St. Margaret's Church stands as a testament to democracy, adorned with statues of world leaders like Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.

Our journey continues to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister since 1735. We'll stroll along Whitehall, a street brimming with government buildings and statues, each with its own fascinating tale. Whitehall is a street which shaped our nation of Great Britain. We shall also take in the world famous Horse Guards who are our monarchy’s last line of defence.

As we venture into the heart of London, we will discover Trafalgar Square, dominated by Nelson's Column and the renowned National Gallery. From here, we can escape the hustle and bustle and immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of St. James's Park, a royal park that has captivated visitors for centuries.

Presentations continue outside Buckingham Palace and we shall get close and personal to the Queen Victoria Memorial. The 500-year-old St. James’s Palace, once home to King Henry VIII, continues to enchant with its grandeur and rich history. We can then explore the elegant neighbourhood of St. James's, often referred to as "Gentleman's London." Here, we'll encounter world-class shops, including a renowned wine merchant, a prestigious cigar shop, and the most famous hat shop in the world.

Our customers say...

"That man is a GEM – don't let him go away. During our week long stay we spent time with a handful of guides – London Walks, three EF guides, a Blue Badge and several others, but I will state with utmost certainty that not one of them was as genuinely interested and willing to make our day perfect as Chris. He set us at ease straight away with his warmth and down-to-earth personality and proceeded to entertain and enthral us with tales and trivia the whole day through. He asked just enough questions to get an idea of our interests and then managed to please everyone. What a perfect way for us to spend our last day in England...thank you for assigning him to our group...please, please give Chris a gigantic thank-you from us all."

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "
