   Windsor Castle

   The world's oldest inhabited castle is not only the nation's iconic treasure but also the Crown's most important royal residence. Our tour is going to start with Windsor Castle which we will reach by train and our journey will start from London Waterloo (Or private transportation will be at your choice). Windsor Castle has been emphasised in the Crown's Season 2, Episode 1 when the Queen takes care of Charles and Alice Season 2, Episode 9 when Charles stares at Eton College through the windows of Windsor Castle (Lord Mountbatten was preparing Charles for Eton College) but he came to naught because of Prince Philip's ideology. Father King George VI's touching funeral in Windsor Castle’s St George's Chapel in Season 1, Episode 3 (The name of the Episode is "Windsor" per see and the title of uncle Edward VIII is "Duke of Windsor" too, smartly addressed).

Confused? Just listen to our professional guide that will tell you the whole deep-seated relations of the Royal family in a way that you will understand.

   St. James's Palace

   As we are heading to Buckingham Palace it would be a good idea to stop by St James's palace for 15 minutes. Maybe it's not directly related to the Crown but this palace is one of the most important palaces in the city dedicated to Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. Queen Anne Boleyn was executed by beheading within the confines of the Tower of London. She'd been queen for just three years. Marvel at the new wonder material of the façade of the building in Tudor's era. Literally, Buckingham Palace is the successor of this lovely Tudor palace.

   Clarence House

   Clarence House is brought to the attention of the viewers in different episodes but the main one is in Season 1 Episode 8 while Duke of Edinburgh is responsible by remodelling Clarence House for their future use whilst newly crowned Queen Elizabeth was trying to adapt to her new role as Queen after her father George VI. About the history of Clarence House, our professional guide will share this information right away. Clarence House was built by George IV's favourite architect John Nash in 1827. The Palace was the home of The Queen Mother from 1953 to 2002. Since then, it has been the official residence of the Prince of Wales, Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla. We will be able to see some additional scenes in Season 4 and Clarence House will surely be in sight. Just refreshing our minds, Camilla was mainly on the screen in Season 3, Episode 9.

   Without doubt, Buckingham Palace

   Without doubt, Buckingham Palace is the most memorable landmark in the Crown TV series, however, all scenes related to this magnificent Royal residence were actually filmed in Lancaster House which is one of the most important architectural palaces in London that can be compared with Buckingham Palace. Now you can close your eyes in a minute and think those moments but one episode that touches all hearts is the "Bubbikins" Season 3, Episode 4 mainly related to Buckingham Palace where the Duke of Edinburgh's caring mother Princess Alice of Greece is invited to Buckingham Palace. An unforgettable quote from Episode 4 is Queen Elizabeth's lovely words: I'm 'Darling' or 'Cabbage'. 'Sweetie' is someone else. You may also imagine the stairs where Apollo 11's astronauts, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were dashing up and down the stairs in Season 3, Episode 7 that's Moondust. Well, we have a goof here in this Episode. Wonder what? Just follow us, please.

   Changing of the Guard

   Well, here is the Crown's and U.K.'s star landmark, Buckingham Palace but according to the Crown, we can't say the same thing for the Royal couple, can we? Buckingham Palace is heavily mentioned in Season 1, Episode 8 Season 3, Episode 4 and in other seasons and episodes naturally. The episode "Dear Ms Kennedy" in Season 2, Episode 8 was also remarkable for Kennedys' visit to Buckingham Palace. As for the history of this lovely 775 room palace, it is still the official residence of Britain's monarchy, as it has been since Queen Victoria's designation in 1837. Much of the Palace was constructed as early as 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham.

    St. James's Park

    After Buckingham Palace, we will head to Horse Guards and it’s always a good idea to pass through one of London's loveliest Royal parks, that's St James's Park which is surrounded by world-famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace,Clarence House and Whitehall right in the heart of the city. Old St James's Park can be seen in some episodes of The Crown where monarchs take a walk close to Buckingham Palace. In fact, it is arguably the city's best park in every season. St James’s Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and covers an area of nearly 57 acres. Summer, fall, winter and spring,St James's Park gives you great joy with the outstanding beauty of its landscape with animals, nature and the vegetation you can admire. The park’s famous flower beds at the front of Buckingham Palace are a familiar backdrop to pageants including Trooping the Colour, as well as state visits and other ceremonial occasions.Can you believe this?Pelicans have lived in St James’s Park for nearly 400 years.

    Another indisputable real fact for the Crown TV series

    Another indisputable real fact for the Crown TV series is the importance of Downing Street No 10 after Buckingham Palace. Almost all Churchill on duty scenes were related to Downing Street No 10. Remarkable scenes that you probably remember is in Season 1, Episode 4 named "Act of God" the pressure on Downing Street due to dense fog crisis in 1952, passing of Winston Churchill in Season 3, Episode 1 when Harold Wilson will become the new prime minister. One memorable scene related to Downing Street No 10 was how Venetia, Churchill's new secretary got soaked by Churchill's bathwater as she was trying to read the official notes to him through a bathroom door in Season 1, Episode 2. Now that we know Downing Street has a bathtub, it's good to know the history of the building. Being one of the most important political buildings in the world United Kingdom's “White House” Number 10 continuously hosts the British prime ministers since 1735.

    Churchill War Rooms

    Apparently, the timeline of The Crown starts right after the post-WWII period, however, this doesn't mean that Cabinet War Rooms can be skipped. No. This place played a great role in the destiny of a nation in combination with the political skills and abilities of wise Winston Churchill during WWII era. This enlightened teacher would be a leading light for the young Queen as this was perfectly depicted in the series. In fact, Churchill's model role can indisputably be seen and assumed while watching this Netflix show. The Churchill War Rooms is a historic underground complex and museum that housed a British government command centre throughout the Second World War, and the Churchill Museum, a biographical museum exploring the life of British statesman Winston Churchill. Here you will have the chance to discover the secrets hidden beneath the streets of Westminster in the underground nerve centre where Winston Churchill and his inner circle directed the Second World War.

    Westminster

    Our coronation church Westminster Abbey

    Our coronation church Westminster Abbey is not only the most important key landmark in the Crown series but also in British history. The most notable scene related to Westminster Abbey is in Season 1 Episode 1, while Churchill’s walking through the nave for the wedding ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II and the consort the Duke of Edinburgh and of course, the immaculate Queen Elizabeth's coronation scenes in Season 1, Episode 5 were all remarkable. Now that you will be in front of this holy shrine, you need to have some historical information about Westminster Abbey. The Abbey is a burial ground, coronation site and much more, and continues to attract visitors over 900 years after its founding. In many respects the architecture is common. There's the traditional cross-shaped floor plan with a nave, north and south transepts and several round side areas.

    Houses of Parliament & Big Ben

    The Houses of Parliament

    The Houses of Parliament is the political heart of the U.K. in London and the Crown viewers will immediately recall the scene of his speech in the celebration of Churchill’s 80th birthday in House of Parliament, that's Season 1, Episode 9. The most remarkable moment in this episode was his discontented look when he sees his badly painted portrait. It's not that brutal look, of course, this masterpiece's history starts from Westminster Hall. The painting was presented to Churchill by both Houses of Parliament at a public ceremony in Westminster Hall on 30 November 1954. The Houses of Parliament, known also as the Palace of Westminster is where the two Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their sittings and lie on the north bank of the River Thames in the London borough of the City of Westminster, close by other government buildings in Whitehall.
