Walk Westminster: A London Self Guided Walking Tour
Welcome to Westminster! This is an area in Central London filled with history and tourist attractions. It is home to the famous Parliament building, Buckingham Palace and (of course) Westminster Abbey. In fact, the entire neighborhood gets its name from the Abbey.

We will see palaces and parks. Take this tour at your own pace. You could easily spend a couple hours or an entire day exploring Westminster. That’s what I love about self-guided walking tours,…
