About this activity

A private tour with a local five star guide steeped in Royal History, Aristocratic Heritage & luxury indulgence. Optional Local Hotel Pickup

This walking experience takes in the ceremonial royal area of London before finishing on a high with a glass of Imperial Brut champagne served at the flagship Moet et Chandon bar in possibly the most famous store in the world, Harrods.

We begin with a private leisurely stroll around St James & learn of its famous and infamous residents. We will then approach St James Palace, the London home of Monarchs since Henry VIII & where King Charles III was proclaimed King. Buckingham Palace & Clarence House are on view as we follow in the footsteps of Royalty towards the Duke of Wellington's home before reaching Harrods.

We will explore the magnificent food hall before you are welcomed into the one and only Moet et Chandon Bar for a crisp, refreshing, & most importantly, well-deserved glass of Imperial Brut champagne accompanied by delicious canapes.
