Learn about the area of Westminster in a new light

Picture the scene… During the devastating attack on London during World War 2, one man carried a nation’s weight of expectation on his shoulders. As London was mercilessly bombed by the Nazis, Winston Churchill plotted our victory from the streets of London and operations room in Westminster.

This is the perfect tour to understand the area of Westminster as it would have been during Churchill’s day. You’ll see iconic buildings like Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall and the Cenotaph, but through the lens of WW2, and with the expert commentary of one of our history experts.

Does the tour go ahead in the rain?

Yes, all our tours go ahead in the rain, so come prepared for the famous British weather!

One thing to note for our changing the guard tour: The British Army reserve the right to alter the changing the guard ceremony if they so wish, but will not make a decision until the event is due to start. If there is a threat of rain, your guide will inform the group of the potential impact on the ceremony. You will always see guards, but their movements may vary, and musicians may not play.

How do I recognise the Guide?

Do you cater for disabilities?

At FLT we try to be as inclusive as possible, so if you have any particular disability, please email us at info@funlondontours.com beforehand and we will do our best to ensure the tour works for you.

When I book the tour do I need to wait for tickets to arrive in the post?

No, your confirmation email is your ticket. Just show this to the guide on the day of the tour.

How early should I arrive for the walk?

Please come 10 minutes before the allotted time so that we are ready to go promptly, especially if you have decided to come without booking online. Please note that in London there are regular road closures, engineering works on the tube and other events which can easily delay your journey. Ensure you make allowances for this as we do not wait for latecomers.
