St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London
One of the most spectacular of London’s landmarks, St. Paul’s Cathedral dates back to 1675. The funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill all took place here and it was also here that Lady Diana married Prince Charles. Next, we head to the Tower of London, which was built by William the Conqueror nearly a thousand years ago. Designed to subjugate and terrify Londoners while deterring foreign invaders, it remains a formidable place. Used both as a palace and as a prison, today the castle is home to the Crown Jewels and the famous Beefeaters who protect them. We will also stop for photos here before heading to Tower pier.
