Whitehall Palace — the largest royal palace in Europe during its prime. Though much of it was lost to fire in the 17th century, your Blue Badge Tour Guide will reveal the fascinating legacy of this Tudor and Stuart residence. Once the official home of English monarchs, it was the setting for royal weddings, banquets, and even the execution of King Charles I.
Churchill War Rooms
Your unforgettable Royal Westminster Walking Tour ends at one of London’s most historic hidden gems — the Churchill War Rooms (ticket included). Tucked beneath the streets of Whitehall, this secret underground bunker was the nerve centre of Britain’s war effort during WWII. From here, Winston Churchill and his government led the country through its darkest hours. Your Blue Badge Tour Guide will introduce you to the significance of this site before you step inside. Walk the same halls Churchill once did, explore the preserved Cabinet Room and discover the gripping Churchill Museum — a fitting end to a day steeped in British history and legacy (audio guides available).
