One of the highlights of the tour will be a visit to Medieval Westminster Abbey, which was originally built on an island on the river Thames back in 960 AD. Today, the temple’s wonderful Gothic structures, rose windows and flying buttresses don’t fail to amaze visitors. During the tour your guide will share fun facts about the abbey, tell some old spooky legends, and explain why it contains graves of historical figures such as Charles Darwin and memorials in honor of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens and many more poets and writers. Just some steps away, you will have the opportunity so see the green areas of St. James's Park, once an area of marshland purchased by Henry VIII and where some kings used to keep exotic wild animals as pets.
