Harrods Afternoon Tea

The British Crown Jewels are a collection of precious ceremonial objects and regalia used in the coronation and other state ceremonies of the British monarchy. Housed in the Tower of London, the Crown Jewels represent a significant historical and cultural legacy.

The Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace is a traditional and iconic spectacle that takes place in London. This ceremony is a symbol of British pageantry and the official handover of responsibilities between two sets of guards. 

As you cruise along the River Thames you will pass by iconic London landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Shakespeare’s Globe, and the London Eye.
