What it is
A walking route through the London of palaces and Parliament, from the company SANDEMANs NEW Europe, with freelance guides. You don't pay at the start; at the end you leave whatever tip you like. It leaves from Charing Cross station, at the entrance of the Clermont hotel, and ends near Westminster Abbey.
What it covers
According to the company, the route includes Buckingham Palace (with the Changing of the Guard if it coincides), St James's Park and St James's Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament and Big Ben, Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, Horse Guards Parade and the Churchill War Rooms. It lasts about two and a half hours, although the website itself speaks of about three depending on the guide.
