The Smaller Group London Tour by Mikro Tours

Dear Traveller,

As regular readers of our blog will know, Mikro Tours devises tour itineraries for visitors to London, but we do not only work in the capital city we also arrange trips to other places nearby.

And fortunately,  London is but only a matter of a few hours journey from many of the other attractions that regularly come up top of visitor wish lists.

Nearest to hand are the magnificent royal residences of Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace, both of which lie but an hour from Central London.

Windsor Castle remains very much a royal residence, and is rumoured to be the Queen’s favourite home, one that she stays at during most weekends of the year.

Attractions at the castle include:- St George’s Chapel, St George’s Hall, the Waterloo Chamber, Princess Mary’s dolls house, and a regular Changing of the Guard, like that which is found at Buckingham Palace.

Hampton Court Palace, meanwhile lies a similar distance from Central London, and has been a royal palace since the days of  Henry VIII, who would often relax there in between getting married and divorced from his wives.

In fact April 2009 marks the 500th anniversary of Henry ascending the English throne, and many special events are planned to commemorate the  ‘much-married monarch’.

Until next time,

Michael Gerrard- Mikro Tours
