Join us on this fantastic afternoon tour with our expert guide,&nbsp;where you will visit two of London&#39;s most iconic landmarks.&nbsp;Step into the captivating history of London with our expert guide leading the way on this fascinating afternoon tour. Explore two of London&#39;s most iconic landmarks, delve into their rich heritage and uncover tales of centuries past.

&nbsp;

Then, as the sun sets and the day&#39;s adventures come to a close, treat yourself to a leisurely and&nbsp;scenic cruise&nbsp;along the majestic River Thames. Sail along historic landmarks and marvels, offering a unique perspective of this storied cityscape. It&#39;s the perfect way to conclude a day of discovery and delight.

&nbsp;

The first stop is an iconic symbol of London.&nbsp;Sir Christopher Wren&#39;s architectural marvel, St. Paul&#39;s Cathedral,&nbsp;stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, taking an impressive 35 years to complete. Dominating the skyline with its soaring dome, it was&nbsp;London&#39;s tallest building until the 1960s.

&nbsp;

The cathedral&#39;s construction&nbsp;from 1675 to 1710&nbsp;marked a significant chapter in London&#39;s history,&nbsp;rising from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1666. Today, St. Paul&#39;s boasts a wealth of architectural splendour, including seven chapels, many statues, and an unparalleled collection of priceless art. View&nbsp;Europe&#39;s largest crypt&nbsp;and discover a trove of historical and religious treasures tucked away within its hallowed halls.

&nbsp;

Head to the bloody Tower of London and explore a millennium of history, tracing back to the origins of a fortress&nbsp;commissioned by&nbsp;William the Conqueror.

&nbsp;

The Tower&#39;s storied past is shrouded in&nbsp;tales of imprisonment, intrigue, and regal executions, stretching back through the annals of time. Despite its ancient origins, the&nbsp;Tower&#39;s dark legacy&nbsp;persisted into the modern era, with the&nbsp;last execution taking place as recently as 1941. From spies to queens, criminals to monarchs, many have met their fate at the hands of the executioner within the Tower&#39;s formidable walls.

&nbsp;

Beyond its grim history, the Tower of London also houses the incomparable&nbsp;Crown Jewels Collection, a repository of priceless treasures steeped in regal splendour.

&nbsp;

The Crown Jewels&nbsp;have been stored and displayed at the Tower of London since 1661. This magnificent world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones is part of the Royal Collection and boasts items that are still used in royal ceremonies today.

&nbsp;

Following their use in the Coronation ceremony of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6 May, the regalia can be explored in the Treasury of the Jewel House. Appreciate these remarkable objects up close, including the Imperial State Crown, which was worn by His Majesty The King for the procession from the Abbey to Buckingham Palace and features in the official Coronation portraits, and St Edward&rsquo;s Crown, which was used at the moment of crowning.

&nbsp;

Also on display will be&nbsp;Queen Mary&#39;s Crown, made by Garrard for the 1911 Coronation and modified for Her Majesty Queen Camilla ahead of the 2023 Coronation.

&nbsp;

Your experience of the&nbsp;Jewel House&nbsp;will begin with a celebration of the timelessness of monarchy, displaying the&nbsp;State Crown frames&nbsp;worn by past monarchs George I, George IV, and Queen Victoria and explaining how many of the most historic jewels &ndash; including the famous &lsquo;Black Prince&rsquo;s Ruby&rsquo; - have passed from crown to crown.

&nbsp;

Learn more about the origins of the current Crown Jewels, starting with the&nbsp;destruction of the medieval Coronation Regalia in 1649 during the English Civil War. The Crown Jewels were destroyed at the Tower after the Civil War and remade for Charles II&rsquo;s coronation in 1661. They signify the royal authority to lead and protect the nation.

&nbsp;

After visiting the Tower of London, head down to Tower Pier and jump on the next available boat for a&nbsp;wonderful cruise down the River Thames. Enjoy a unique view of London&#39;s beautiful waterfront as you head to Westminster Pier next to the iconic Houses of Parliament.

&nbsp;

Evan Evans office, 248 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London at 1pm (boarding commences at 12.45pm)
