Top 10 Historical Places In London
- Tower of London
Why Visit:
The Tower of London, established in 1066 by William the Conqueror, has been a royal palace, prison, treasury, and home to the Crown Jewels. From the Norman Conquest to the Tudor era, its White Tower, medieval walls, and Yeoman Warders (or Beefeaters) conjure a millennium of British history.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Begin your day bright and early with a Mercedes Benz E Class chauffeur service in London – ideal for a touch of intimacy and to snap through rush hour. The E Class ensures that at 9 a.m., the first tour of Yeoman Warder you arrive well-rested at the Tower, early enough to beat the crowds and catch a glimpse of the Tower’s ravens, the Ceremony of the Keys and the medieval execution site in relative peace.
- Westminster Abbey
Why Visit:
The coronation church of British monarchs and the burial place of kings, queens, poets and scientists since 1066, Westminster Abbey. With its Gothic architecture, Poets’ Corner and the Coronation Chair, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in royal tradition and literary history.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Your chauffeur can transfer you and your loved ones from the Tower to a BMW 5 Series chauffeur service in London where you can enjoy a smooth journey towards the west side of the Thames. The BMW5 Series’s composure and silent cabin make it perfect for re-reading past Abbey lore along the way. By arriving here just before the noon rush, you will have ample time to soak up the Abbey’s cloisters, Chapter House, Elizabeth I’s tomb — and there is no need to rush.
- Buckingham Palace
Why Visit:
Not open to visitors all year, the official London residence of the monarch, Buckingham Palace features the Changing of the Guard ceremony daily in summer (and every other day in winter). The Palace’s facade, Queen Victoria Memorial and the Royal Mews and Green Park just beyond are quintessentially British photo opportunities.
RolDrive Recommendation:
You can continue on your travels in an Audi A6 chauffeur service in London after visiting Westminster Abbey. The A6’s well-composed ride and refined interior allow you to do that in relaxation and style as you head toward The Mall. Plan to arrive at about 10:45a.m. for the 11a.m. Changing of the Guard. Your driver can wait in your vicinity, so as not to waste precious sightseeing time lingering to see the Royal Mews or to take a brief walk in St. James’s Park.
- St. Paul’s Cathedral
Why Visit:
Sir Christopher Wren’s imposing Baroque masterpiece, finished in 1710 in the wake of the Great Fire of London, is crowned by its instantly recognisable domed roof and dominates the City skyline. Inside, visit the Whispering Gallery and the crypt, where several notable Englishmen are buried, as well as the OBE Chapel. It also hosted Churchill’s funeral and the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981.
RolDrive Recommendation:
For a comfortable ride with enhanced suspension through the city traffic as you travel from Buckingham Palace to St.Paul’s Cathedral, opt for a Mercedes S Class chauffeur hire in London. Its executive features enable you to read your guidebook or listen to an audio tour packet on your way to crossing the Millennium Bridge and arriving prepared to climb the dome’s 528 steps (or just admire the nave).
- Hampton Court Palace
Why Visit:
Just a short drive southwest of central London, Hampton Court Palace epitomises both Tudor grandeur and Baroque opulence. Henry VIII’s former residence features the Great Hall, the haunted Gallery, the lavish Tudor kitchens, and the world-famous maze. Charming gardens and canals and the yearly Hampton Court Palace Festival are also part of the palace grounds.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Book for this half-day trip a full day chauffeur hire – BMW 7 Series chauffeur service in London. The 7 Series’s large rear cabin and adjustable seats mean you can arrive at your location without feeling stiff and uncomfortable after the 1 hour 15-minute drive there. Your driver can offer local tips along the way, and you’ll arrive in time for a comprehensive tour of the palace before lunch at the Tiltyard Café and a stroll around the manicured gardens, after which you can hit the road again.
- Churchill War Rooms
Why Visit:
Beneath Whitehall you can find the Churchill War Rooms, the preserved underground bunker from which Winston Churchill and his Cabinet directed Britain’s defence in World War II. Displays range from Churchill’s bedroom to map rooms to interactive features, painting a detailed picture of his leadership while capturing the secretive atmosphere of the time.
RolDrive Recommendation:
From Hampton Court, use an Audi A8 chauffeur service in London for your journey back. The A8’s hushed interior is perfect for unwinding — or listening to a Churchill audiobook — as you head to Whitehall. Plan to arrive in the early afternoon, avoiding peak Westminster crowds and ensuring a contemplative visit through the dimly lit corridors of Britain’s wartime nerve centre.
- The British Museum
Why Visit:
Founded in 1753, the British Museum’s vast collection includes over eight million objects that represent two million years of human history. From the Rosetta Stone to the Elgin Marbles and Egyptian mummies, its neoclassical façade and Great Court’s glass roof invite visitors into an enormous, scholarly trove.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Keep the ball rolling with a short hop in a Mercedes V Class chauffeur hire in London —great for groups of friends, or couples seeking that extra bit of room following their visit to the War Rooms. And if you have been souvenir shopping at Hampton Court, both luggage and passenger space are there in abundance in the VClass. Get there mid-afternoon and you’ll avoid the school groups and be able to focus on the areas you find most exciting – maybe the Enlightenment Gallery, or the Japanese Highlights section.
- Tower Bridge Exhibition
Why Visit:
Tower Bridge Tower Bridge, completed in 1894, is a feat of Victorian engineering, with its twin towers and drawbridges that continue to be put into action. Included are glass walkways 42 metres above the Thames with spectacular views of the river and city, and the authentic engine rooms that used to use steam and coal to power the bridge.
RolDrive Recommendation:
From Bloomsbury—where the British Museum is located—book an hourly chauffeur service in a Mercedes Benz E Class chauffeur service in London. The E Class’s smooth ride permits you to enjoy river views as you head east on the Embankment. Get off at Tower Hill, the entrance to Tower Bridge. – Plan for a pint at a riverside pub to close out your day after the exhibition.
- Kensington Palace
Why Visit:
Once home to Catherine of Aragon, Queen Victoria, and Diana, Princess of Wales, Kensington Palace continues to be a royal residence and a museum. Discover the King’s State Apartments, the Sunken Garden, and the “Victoria Revealed” exhibition featuring the Quadrille Uniform and other treasures. The adjacent Kensington Gardens make an idyllic stroll past the Albert Memorial and the Serpentine.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Take the experience to the next level by being dropped off in luxury with a Mercedes S Class chauffeur service in London from the hit western areas to the open gates of Kensington Gardens, perhaps for a slow drive through quiet parks. Then the S Class’s ambient lighting and refined climate control simply beckon the right ambience, ready for your arrival at the palace. And if once you have toured the inside, you’d like to spend a romantic few minutes walking around the gardens, just let your chauffeur know – they will be waiting for you whenever you’re ready to either check out more of Kensington’s cafes, or head back to your hotel.
- Kew Palace (in Kew Gardens)
Why Visit:
Nestled in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Palace is a small 17th-century structure, where George III resided for most of his reign. The palace’s meticulously restored Georgian rooms, depicted via period furnishings and personal possessions, give a sense of royal family life. The UNESCO-listed grounds that envelop Kew Gardens feature the Palm House, the Great Broad Walk Borders and the Temperate House.
RolDrive Recommendation:
Something a little more laid-back for an afternoon excursion would be a long-distance chauffeur hire in a BMW 5 Series chauffeur service in London— especially if you’re located in the heart of South Kensington. The 5 Series makes the ride west to Kew fly by. You’ll want to get there by late afternoon (that’s when the crowds disperse and the evening light illuminates the gardens). And once you’ve seen all there is to see at the above-ground palace and gardens, retrace your steps back to central London along the Thames (perhaps stopping off for al fresco refreshment on Richmond Riverside).
Conclusion
Touring London’s most famous historic sites can be as relaxed or as thorough as you make it—especially when you employ a sightseeing chauffeur service in London from RolDrive.
