From here, we will continue to the first Royal Palace of the tour – Buckingham Palace. To do this, we will scoot along the outskirts of the gorgeous St. James’s Park, passing various monuments, statues and, of course, royal guardsmen.
Once we have finished with London’s royal heart we will head to the most famous park in the world – Hyde Park.
Here, we will really get the most out of our E-Scooters by exploring the entire park! Throughout the ride, we will visit major attractions such as Wellington Arch, Marble Arch, Speaker’s Corner, the Serpentine before making our way to Kensington Palace. This part of the tour is truly breathtaking, as Hyde Park is surely one of the most beautiful parts of the entire city!
At Kensington Palace, we will hear stories of royal adventures over the last 300 years! When the tour comes to an end you are free to continue using your E-Scooter to keep exploring. Or you can enter the royal palace, explore the Diana Gardens or continue to Kensington High Street and Museum Mile.
