Things to do
-Castles and palaces: So many castles and palaces are within a short distance of your lovely Westminster holiday apartments. See Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Banqueting House and St. James Palace. Study the differences in the architecture or just imagine what it would be like to live in one of these historic buildings.
-Museums: Another way to see some of the area’s treasures is by visiting some of the many nearby museums such as the National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery, Tate Britain and Royal Mews. The Queen’s Gallery is extra special as it contains items actually owned by the Queen.
-Religious buildings: The important religious buildings near Westminster are as ornate and lovely as some of the palaces. Visit Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret’s Church, Westminster Cathedral and St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
-St. James Park: This park, which is surrounded by three palaces, has a long history. In the 16th century it was a royal hunting ground and has undergone many changes at the whim of different rulers. Today, the beautiful spot looks like a country estate and is as well-decorated as you would expect any royal garden to be.
-Shopping: The shopping in Westminster is quite unique. Instead of typical chain stores, you will find a series of unique shops selling things such as artisan cheese, rare books, top hats or hand crafted boots. You’ll also find a wine emporium that has been selling wine for more than 300 years.
