From Heathrow Airport to 5 Hour Private Tour in London
Description
Do you have a layover in London for another destination and want to take advantage of the time for a unique and real experience? This tour will give you the opportunity to compress your precious time and be able to visit, in a relatively short time, the most attractive touristic landmarks in London.

Unlike them, we offer expert suggestions to unveil London, ensuring an unforgettable experience. The London tour is available for scheduling between 05:00 and 22:00, any day of the week. It typically lasts around 5 to 6 hours, encompassing services such as passenger pickup from Heathrow Airport, transportation between points of interest (with brief waiting times at stops), and concluding back at Heathrow Airport.

Itinerary
We pickup travellers from Heathrow Airport and the journey will start from here. There will be approx. 35 min drive to the first point of interest.
The Royal Albert Hall is a large building in the City of Westminster, London. It was opened in 1871, by Queen Victoria. The hall is dedicated to her husband, Albert, Prince Consort, who had died ten years earlier. It is an auditorium where events are held.
At a cost of over £15,000,000 in today's terms the 54m high memorial has a huge gilt bronze statue of Albert Memorial in a seated position looking south towards the Royal Albert Hall. The ornate canopy, in the style of a Gothic ciborium, has marble figures standing at each corner representing Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
History of Buckingham Palace. George III bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a comfortable family home close to St James's Palace, where many court functions were held. Buckingham House became known as the Queen's House, and 14 of George III's 15 children were born there.
Alight for a close-up view and a classic shot with the iconic clock tower and Palace of Westminster.
At 135m, The London Eye is the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel. It was conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects and was launched in 2000. It has won over 85 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement.
Driving from Big Ben towards London Eye on Westminster Bridge will give you the best view on the Thames River.
Pause for a moment to explore the energetic atmosphere on foot. May include Leicester Square or Regent Street.
The first cathedral was built on the site in 604 A.D. and there have been a series of structural decimations and rebuilding in the years since. Christopher Wren, an English designer and architect, designed and built the current St. Paul's Cathedral after the Great Fire of 1666.
Markets began gathering at Covent Garden's new square as early as 1656, though the population was still sparse, composed mostly of wealthier tenants. Being relatively new and out-of-the-way, Covent Garden had the fortune to skirt the worst of the plague in 1665, and it avoided the Great Fire of London entirely in 1666.
The site around Trafalgar Square had been a significant landmark since the 1200s. The square's name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, the British naval victory in the Napoleonic Wars over France and Spain that took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar.
Capture around the historic fortress from different angles during your short walk. William the Conqueror built the White Tower in 1066 as a demonstration of Norman power, siting it strategically on the River Thames to act as both fortress and gateway to the capital. It is the most complete example of an 11th century fortress palace remaining in Europe.
By 1870s, around a million people were living east of London Bridge, so getting across it could take hours. Tower Bridge came out of this need for a new river crossing, and was completed in 1894. Its Neo-Gothic design was chosen to blend with the Tower of London, a request by Queen Victoria.
The tour will end back to Heathrow airport and it will take approx. 50 min drive from Central London.
