Overview
Join me, a passionate local Londoner, on a tour around some of London's most famous sites. Using my many years of experience as an English language teacher, I will speak slowly and clearly on the tour, in a way that non-native English speakers will understand.
We will see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, St James's Park, St James's Palace, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and much more.
You will learn about: the intruder who broke into Buckingham Palace in 1982, the pelicans living in St James's park, Larry the cat who lives in Downing Street, why King Henry VIII was the worst husband in the history of England, Winston Churchill's daily alcohol intake, the British Empire and much more!

Outside Buckingham palace we will consider 4 questions. 1. Why do we have a monarchy? 2. How much power does the King have? 3. Is the King safe when he is inside the palace? 4. Why was the Queen mother happy when the Nazis landed a bomb on the palace?
A little secret... The answer to question number 3 is no! In 1982, somebody broke into the palace and entered the Queen's bedroom while she was sleeping! -
