Big Ben and a Walk through London's Whitehall and the Victoria Embankement Gardens

Our walk begins from Westminster Bridge, where you will catch some of the first glimpses of Big Ben without the scaffolding :). Sinead then heads into Whitehall Gardens at the U.K. Ministry of Defese before heading to the Victoria Embankement Gardens.

You'll see remains of the Palace of Whitehall as well as Cleopatra's Needle. It's springtime, so you will see tulips and all sorts of flora. This is a delightful spring stroll.

i really enjoyed your new london tour video sinead it was terrific as usual.take care and peace and love sinead from your friend bobby in north ridgeville ohio.

thank you Sinead for such an interesting tour of Whitehall and the Victoria Embankment, . Although I was born in South East London and later moved with my parents to Bexleyheath in Kent I never went on any tours of central London. Even when I worked in the City of London area I still never went looking at the famous places. I used to go to the West End of London and visited a jazz record shop ( called Dobells )in Charing Cross Road I rarely bothered to visit other parts of Central London. Nowadays I live in Clacton on Sea, Essex, which is 70 miles from London and I am age 70 now; so do not do much travelling .
I look forward to all your videos. Cheers.

Thanks for another fab tour! I absolutely love the area down near the Thames even if it is touristy! Thank you for showing us those lovely views and I might just cry when I hear Big Ben again! The QE Tower went into refurbishment 4 days after we visited in 2017 and was silent in 2019.

Just fascinating Sinead. I love your videos. London is the most wonderful city in the world (at least to me), and each of your videos just makes me love it more. Thank you!!!

I love your videos! I’m a Londoner and you’re always so busy getting where you’re going you just miss all of the details .

I don't think I've ever listened to a video on British history and found it so interesting. Subscribed and am working my way through. Certainly recommend.

Sensational tour with so much grand and historic British history. Thank you, Sinead. Everything was so noteworthy. I was especially fascinated by the Battle for Britain Memorial and Cleopatra's Needle.

You have the best walking tours around Sinead, so informative………..Donna in Toronto

Wow Sinead, you never cease to amaze us with the wonders of London & vicinity. One week is definitely not long enough to really see and appreciate everything at a comfortable pace. It's a shame that the New Scotland Yard Police Museum isn't open to the public even if only a few days a month, by reservation. America is full of Police Museums, from the FBI to City Departments, and all are open to the public. I have heard of Londons "underground railroad" for the transit and evacuation of public officials. The U.S. once operated a clandestine "shelter" for members of Congress, Cabinet, and their families known as Greenbriar in West Virginia which was given the appearance of a resort, staffed 24/7 by federal employees. Primarily for use during the Cold War. It's a real resort now
