Then we'll stroll through Whitehall to see the official residence of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Office. We'll head towards the impressive Palace of Westminster before visiting the majestic Houses of Parliament and, of course, Big Ben! The tour then continues through the serene and beautiful St. James's Park and ends with a visit to Buckingham Palace to see the office of His Majesty the King. A surprise on our tour! On this tour, you'll learn where to enjoy the famous Sunday Roast or a pint with some of the country's politicians.
