The Six Tudor Queens: A Walking Tour in London
Step back in time and uncover the hidden stories of Henry VIII's six wives on our walking tour through London. From Lambeth to Westminster, discover the fascinating lives of these influential women as we explore iconic locations like Westminster Abbey and The Strand.
This 2-hour adventure is perfect for both history enthusiasts and fans of the popular musical Six. Immerse yourself in the world of these fierce women as we explore their connections to some of London's most iconic locations. And that's not all - on this tour, we'll have a special treat for fans of the hit musical Six! As we make our way to each site, get ready for a fun sing-along session featuring songs from the show. So warm up those vocal cords and join us as we bring history to life in a whole new way.
Agenda
(1) We will begin in the historic neighbourhood of Lambeth, which was once home to the influential Howard family.
(2) From there, we will make our way to Westminster and admire a beautiful stained glass window that was commissioned to celebrate Catherine of Aragon's engagement to Henry VIII (please note: this is only available on weekdays). As we continue our journey, we will also stop outside Westminster Abbey and Our Lady's Chapel. Have you ever wondered why only two Tudor queens were coronated at this iconic abbey?
(3) Next, we will walk down Whitehall, exploring more fascinating stories about the queens and uncovering the remains of the Palace of Whitehall.
(4) No walking tour about the Tudor queens would be complete without a stroll down the Strand, home of the musical Six but also to the nobility with strong ties to some of the queens.
(5) Our tour will end at the Strand, where we'll reveal the lost home of the person behind the Tudor dynasty and introduce to the original and fiercest Tudor Queen!
* Please note the walk does not include admission to Lambeth Palace or Westminster Abbey.
