Visit the London residences of Queen.
Discover popular and lesser-known facts about the band.

Storyline:
You couldn’t believe it when you first heard the rumor. In all your years of investigative journalism, you’ve interviewed reclusive artists, discovered hidden tracks played backward and been to more concerts than family dinners.
Now you have the chance to unravel the story of a lifetime, that could change the way people listen to one of London’s greatest bands of all time.
It’s Queen, of course. But what more can be discovered about Queen? Well, the rumor is that Brian May himself wrote an extra verse for a Queen song back in 1977. Yesterday, someone mailed you an envelope that just read ‘Be at South Kensington station tomorrow if you want to know how it ends’, and nothing more. So here you are.
Coming out of South Kensington Tube station, you find the Underground exit that is next to the Science Museum.

See British tradition come to life on this fully-guided Changing of the Guard walking tour that ensures you get the very best views of this spectacular ceremony. Don’t make the same mistake that so many visitors often – and understandably – make, believing the prime vantage point from where to experience this time-honoured tradition is outside Buckingham Palace.

- Experience a quintessential London tradition: the Changing of the Guard
- Your expert guide will be there to help you make the most of your experience, sharing enriching stories and making sure you are in the right spot at the right time for the best views

These spectators’ enthusiasm quickly turns to disappointment when they realise that they have waited for hours only to see the very end of this unique performance, their view often blocked by the throngs of people crowding around them.

Our tour begins in the 1400’s – a time long before an official police force patrolled the shadowed alleys in the city’s infamous “East End”. London was a city where the tyrants ruled and the weak were swallowed by Death’s gaping maw.

Discover how traitors and criminals were punished, why the Ripper was never caught and what life was really like for people living in the East End. In a city so full of light and beauty, this walk will show us the darkness waiting behind every corner. *Average tour length.

To Londoners, St Paul’s Cathedral is more than a beautiful church – it is a symbol of their defiance and resilience. Rising above the concrete and glass of the modern city, this majestic masterpiece of the rare and short-lived English baroque style remains one of the most emblematic elements in a city packed with attractions.

The current cathedral is the fourth to have been built on this site at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London. It was constructed after the great fire of 1666 gutted the city and the most prestigious architect of the era was chosen. Christopher Wren’s design was so outstanding that its 111 metre-high dome remained the tallest building in London until 1962. But the greatest feat of all was how it survived the brutal Blitz bombing campaign of World War II, earning it a mythical status among the citizens, regardless of faith.

As soon as you cross the gates of this awe-inspiring cathedral, your eyes will be drawn to the impressive interior. Learn all about its fascinating past and test the acoustic peculiarities of the Whispering Gallery. Marvel at the meticulous mosaics that decorate the choir or the extravagantly gilded high altar. Perhaps you can pause for a moment to reflection and contemplation, maybe even light a candle and say a little prayer. Visit the Golden Gallery and enjoy the stunning heavenly views of London.
