The Tower of London
The Tower of London
The Tower of London is one of the oldest buildings in the city — over 900 years old! It has been a royal palace, a prison, and even a zoo. Today, it’s famous for the Crown Jewels and the legendary ravens who guard the tower. Students will see the tower from the outside and learn about its dark and fascinating history.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge
Often confused with London Bridge, this beautiful structure is one of the most photographed landmarks in London. Built in the 1890s, Tower Bridge opens up to let tall ships pass. Its two towers are joined by walkways with views across the Thames — perfect for a group photo stop!
Westminster & Big Ben
Westminster & Big Ben
This area is the political heart of the UK. Here students will see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben — London’s famous clock tower. The architecture is stunning, and it’s a great place to learn about how the British government works in one of the most historic places in the city.
The London Eye
The London Eye
Standing 135 metres tall, the London Eye is the biggest observation wheel in Europe. While the group won't go on the ride, the riverside location offers excellent views of the city and nearby attractions. It’s also a perfect reference point for the start or end of the walking tour.
St James’s Park
St James’s Park
This royal park is one of the most beautiful green spaces in London. Surrounded by ducks, flowers, and quiet paths, it’s the ideal place for a relaxed lunch break. From here, students can enjoy a view of Buckingham Palace in the distance and maybe spot a royal guard!
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace
The official residence of the King, Buckingham Palace is where many royal events take place. The front gates and balcony are known around the world, and students will have time to take photos and watch for the Changing of the Guard (if it’s happening on the day!).
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
A lively, open plaza in central London, Trafalgar Square is home to statues, fountains, and the towering Nelson’s Column. It’s a place where people gather for celebrations, protests, and performances — and it’s a perfect stop to discuss public spaces in UK life.
Leicester Square
Leicester Square
Known for its cinemas, street performers, and theatres, Leicester Square is the heart of London’s entertainment district. Students will enjoy a short period of free time here to explore the shops, take selfies with film statues, or simply soak in the atmosphere before the journey home.
