Fans of The Crown can explore the stories that inspired this hugely popular Netflix series with John England Tours!
This is your opportunity to see some of the main London filming locations and royal buildings featured in the show.
Have fun exchanging views about what may be fact or fiction in the TV dramatisation while walking amongst London’s historical political and royal buildings.
We’ll walk along Whitehall and past many significant places of the UK’s government and monarchy, many of which were featured in the first series of The Crown: Horse Guards; The Cabinet Office; 10 Downing Street; The Cabinet War Rooms; Parliament Square.
We’ll admire Westminster Palace (Parliament) and Westminster Abbey at Parliament Square – the holy site of coronations, royal weddings and state funerals.
After walking by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and The Churchill War Rooms, we’ll head through St James’s Park, to take in some tranquillity in the heart of the metropolis.
We will see Lancaster House, where many scenes of The Crown were filmed, Clarence House and, of course, 500-year-old St. James’s Palace at Pall Mall.
After taking in the splendour of Buckingham Palace, we stroll through leafy Green Park and on to Piccadilly, Soho, and Theatreland.
Picking out some cultural landmarks around Theatreland, we’ll discuss their links to the story of Princess Margaret’s courtship with Antony Armstrong-Jones, featured in series two of The Crown.
As we conclude the tour at Covent Garden, we’ll talk about the royal love of the dramatic arts, admiring locations featured in The Crown such as the Theatre Royal and the Lyceum Theatre.
