The Westminster London walk covers one of the original areas of London. During Medieval times, this religious and political center was separate from other areas and mostly remained as such until Queen Victoria's time (and after a major fire created a need to rebuild Westminster Palace). Today this walk is everything you imagine when you think "London"... it truly is the
quintessential London. If you google the city, you are likely to see images of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, and the House of Parliament. On this walk, you are also likely to run into everything "English"... bobbies (police officers), double-decker buses, and the most photographed red telephone booth in the world! Overall, this walk should be the first loop for any London tourist.

| The most photographed photo booth in the world- we had to wait in line to take our picture! |
