Wartime
London Full-Day Tour covering London Bridge, the City of London, Westminster
and the West End. This tour lasts 7.5 hours with Tripmart.com
In
a period vehicle from the 1930s or 40s, explore the World War II sites of
London with a professional guide, and see London like few visitors do! Discover
the devastating effect World War II had on the city and find out what life was
like during the Blitz, when the City of London took the brunt of the early
bombing. Hear about how famous St Paul's Cathedral became an icon of defiance
with its extraordinary survival, and learn how and where an accidental dropping
of bombs changed the course of the Battle of Britain and perhaps even the
entire war.
If
you're a history buff, don't miss this chance to see a different side of
London, and dig deep into the city's WWII past. With your guide, start your
Wartime London tour in Victoria and heads toward the City of London, passing by
Parliament Square, the Embankment and the scene of some of the heaviest WWII
bombing.
As
you get closer to the City, catch sight of the Aldwych, the site of one of
London's worst WWII incidents. See how the Central Church of the RAF still has
scars of wartime damage, and see a number of London's other churches that are
still in ruins. You'll also discover pieces of Roman London that were revealed
by the destruction.
Next,
visit the site where the very first bombs of the war landed on the City, and
drive over one of London's largest craters, which could easily have swallowed a
double-decker bus.Cross London Bridge and compare today's modern Docklands
skyline to how it looked during the war. Then see the site of one of London's
most tragic air-raid shelter disasters. You'll also hear about the remarkable
saving of St Paul's Cathedral and its affect on local morale. Learn how two
bomb-disposal experts risked their lives to ensure the cathedral's survival.
Then
enjoy a one-hour visit to the Imperial War Museum (free admission), where you
can stick with your guide or walk around on your own. The museum brings to life
some of the most important weapons and vehicles used during the war, including
a Spitfire that saw action in the Battle of Britain.
As
you head back to Victoria, see remnants of London's emergency water supply
system, designed to cope with fires, but with unexpected side effects.
An
exclusive Wartime London pictorial guide is included, showing many of the WWII
sites as they were then, compared with how they look today.
