17,035 Reviews

Commissioned by Henry VIII in 1531, St. James’s Palace served as principal royal residence for 300 years. Today, the official palace houses members of the wider royal household and is used for state events, ceremonies, and as royal offices. Much of the original Tudor brickwork remains, making it well worth a stop on a city tour.

I am not part of a massive organisation and want to give each guest a personalised tour experience, I want you to enjoy London and everything the city has to offer during your time in this great city. I hope that this tour is a memorable part of your stay in London. (Of course, for all the right reasons!)
