The Crown Jewels are a working collection, and as a consequence, the display is subject to change without prior notice due to security reasons. Due to increased security measures at many attractions, some lines may form on tours with 'Skip the line' access. Extra measures may be implemented at some venues due to heightened global security. As a result, you may experience delays in getting through mandatory security checks when entering these venues. Extra measures may also restrict the size of bags that can be brought inside. To avoid disruptions or possible denied entry, we strongly suggest that you avoid bringing large purses, bags, or backpacks on your tour. Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before departure. Guests arriving after departure cannot be accommodated, & missed tours or tickets cannot be refunded. London's tourist sites are among the most popular in the world. Skip the line access and careful planning limit crowd exposure, but please be aware that some locations may be unavoidably busy during standard hours. The operator will try to ensure timings and itineraries are respected; however, due to issues beyond control, timings and sites are subject to last-minute changes on rare occasions.
