English Heritage & History

Begin in London where you’ll live like a Queen in the heart of Soho at the Ham Yard Hotel, famed for its style and service. Walk the halls of The Houses of Parliament and learn the secrets of Buckingham Palace from the impressive exteriors. In summer, visit the State Apartments and Queens Gallery whilst she enjoys her well-earned holiday in Scotland. Step back in time at the Tower of London; glimpse the Crown Jewels and gain access to the Ceremony of the Keys, an evening tradition that has taken place for over 700 years. Upgrade to exclusive private access of this royal moment.

Travel to the Cotswolds for a three night stay at Dormy House. A welly-clad walk from the Cotswolds village of Broadway, the hotel was once a 7th century farmhouse. From this privileged position, you’re within easy reach of some of England’s most famous Stately Homes. Our must-see, Blenheim Palace, warrants a whole day of guiding with your specialist guide; uncover the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill alongside three hundred years of British history. Throw yourself into the thick of Tudor history at Sudeley Castle where Queen Catherine Parr (the last of King Henry VIII’s six wives) called home and is buried.

Head back to the Ham Yard Hotel – your luxury London base – for your final days exploring the grandeur of British homes and palaces. Your final stop will be Windsor Castle, one of the Queen’s three royal residences and her favourite place to spend weekends. The Castle has hosted its fair share of Royal weddings and can be explored when not on royal duty. Whilst in Windsor, we can arrange a private tour of England’s most famous school, Eton College. Here, you will be guided by old Etonian who will shed light on what it’s like to be educated at the same establishment as many British prime ministers.
