A golden angel gleams above the traffic, watching as centuries of secrets slip through London’s heart. The world may know Buckingham Palace and its parades but just around each corner in Victoria lie layers of royal drama, scandal, and unbreakable tradition waiting to be found.

Stroll at your own pace on this self-guided audio tour, exploring grand memorials, hidden stables, and forgotten alleys most travelers simply overlook.

Which palace wall shook during a bombing as royalty refused to hide? What bizarre creatures guard Queen Victoria in marble and why did a mysterious “boy” keep sneaking into royal bedrooms? When did rebellion sweep even the royal horses into mutiny within the shadow of the throne?

Wander between gold-tipped gates and secret courtyards where history rises all around you. Follow hidden stories from spectacle to uprising and see London’s iconic centre anew—with every step, the past rushes beside you.

Let curiosity lead you closer. Begin your discovery beneath that gilded angel now.
