Tag along with Daniel to hear the fascinating story of London's Westminster area.
This self-guided tour of Westminster will show you some of the highlights of London and will concentrate on government, history and the Crown.

If you’re new to London this tour will tell you almost 1,000 years of history and cover many of the key events in that time.
