CITY. SIGHTSEEING. ASKING THE WAY. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS 209

Christopher Wren’s greatest masterpiece, St Paul’s Cathedral. It was com­pleted in 1710 and is considered by many to be the most beautiful building in Britain. Prince Charles was married here in 1981 - “the fairy-tale wedding of the century.” Leaving St Paul’s we move into the financial city itself to the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and the Mansion House, home of the Lord Mayor, then across London Bridge and Tower Bridge.

The Tower of London & Crown Jewels - an incredible medieval time capsule dating back 900 years. Here we feel the pulse of English history and learn how the Tower was used as a fortress, a prison, a palace and a place of execution! We’ll dazzled by the sparkling Crown Jewels safely guarded by our traditional Beefeaters (not to mention The Tower Ravens).

The tour doesn’t operate on Sunday as visits cannot be made to St Paul’s or Westminster Abbey.
