About this activity

You’re invited to the opening ceremony at the Tower of London, to be first in to explore the Crown Jewels, to join us on an adventure from the old City to the regal city of Westminster. Welcome to the Ultimate Royal London experience.

Why join the queue when you can be first into the Tower of London to enjoy the opening ceremony led by a Beefeater and see the Crown Jewels without the crowds?

We’re about to read you the story of London, a tale of two cities where you’ll be exploring from crowns to confessions.

After benefiting from early access and a special ceremony with the Beefeaters, you’ll explore the Tower ( on your own ) that has been keeping a watchful eye over the city and the river Thames since its founding in the 11th-century.

Rejoin your guide for a relaxing boat ride on the River Thames, alighting in the royal city of Westminster to take a walking tour of the iconic landmarks that dot these streets like jewels - Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
