Overview
Come hear about Winston Churchill and the Second World War, Henry VIII and the execution of a King. What did they do with the paintings in the National Gallery during the blitz? Where did a young Princess Elizabeth and her sister mingle with the crowds incognito during the victory celebrations? People say that history is boring. Did you know that the spark that started the English civil war was a row between a husband and wife. Or that Henry VIII secretly married Anne Boleyn in the Whitehall Palace before he was officially divorced. The great buildings of London are here too, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Westminster Abbey but we will also recall the human events that make us who we are. The story of a small island kingdom that became a global empire will be seen in these stones and buildings.
- The history of London brought to life.
