Starting with a boat ride- downstream and back down the centuries from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Elizabethan London. Explore the Bankside district- the world of 'Shakespeare in Love'. Home to the Globe Theatre, old and new, and the other Elizabethan playhouses and bear-baiting dens and St. Saviour's, where he buried his brother Edmund, and an ancient, swaybacked coaching inn in whose courtyard Shakespeare's plays are still performed.

Westminster Abbey is a three-dimensional walk-through the history of England. A great religious centre, the place where kings and queens were crowned and often buried, the seed-bed of democratic government, the driving force of English music - the Abbey is England in microscosm. It's also a building of splendour, intricacy and consummate virtuosity.

A walk around the place where kings and queens are crowned, where they lived, and often were buried. It's the forge of the national destiny, the place where the heart of the Empire beat, the Mecca of politicians throughout the ages. The past here is cast in stone: Ancient Westminster Hall, the Houses of Parliament, the Jewel Tower, and Westminster Abbey.

Old Westminster is London at its grandest: the place where kings and queens are crowned, where they lived, and often were buried. It's the forge of the national destiny, the beating heart of the Empire, the Mecca of politicians throughout the ages. The past here is cast in stone. Take it all in: ancient Westminster Hall, the Houses of Parliament, the Jewel Tower, and Westminster Abbey. And to see it with a great guide is to have that past suddenly rise to the surface.
