We entered one of the most famous streets in London - Piccadilly Street. Piccadilly is a lace collar with pointed ends, supported by a thin wire or whalebone. Piccadilly was an essential attribute of the nobility's clothing in the sixteenth century. During the reign of Empress Elizabeth, there were warehouses for Piccadilly collars, which gave the street its name. The street and its surroundings became a desirable quarter for the nobility. Mansions and luxurious houses were built here, court tailors came and settled here. Since the seventeenth century, the Piccadilly area has become the founder of fashion, a symbol of prosperity and wealth. So it remains to this day.

This four-hour walk in London introduces us to Westminster, the heart of the English monarchy. We will visit the old abbey, find the lawn on which the football game was born, and taste ale in the oldest pub. Look into the Winston Churchill bunker, find out who catches mice at 10 Downing Street, get acquainted with the ceremonies of Buckingham Palace and walk through the parks. We will visit the famous Piccadilly Street and its neighbour, where tailors rented rooms to Rothschild and Isaac Newton. We will relax in Trafalgar Square if we wish, we will visit the National Gallery. Finally, we will find ourselves in the theatre district and the Soho quarter. Let us go!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
