Castillo de San Miguel - Medieval Show

Die Royal Mews ist eine wichtige Zweigstelle des Lord Chamberlain's Office, welches Transporte für die Queen und Mitglieder der königlichen Familie mit Pferdekutschen und Motorwagen organisiert. Der Hofstall ist verantwortlich für die Ausbildung der Windsor Greys und Cleveland Bays – der Pferde, die die königlichen Kutschen ziehen. Die Staatsfahrzeuge werden in den Royal Mews untergebracht und gewartet. Die Kutschen aus den Royal Mews werden jedes Jahr rund 50 Mal genutzt, um neu ernannte Minister und Botschafter zu ihrer offiziellen Residenz zum Buckingham Palace zu bringen. Seit 1843 bricht täglich ein Botschafter vom Hofstall auf, um Post zwischen dem Buckingham Palace und dem St. James's Palace auszutauschen.

There are recreations of the past wooden, stone and medieval bridges, all of which include live characters in full regalia of the time. Join in the fun, have a laugh and learn some of London's gruesome history at the same time. Of course we also do our best to add a few surprises along the way; so be sure to be ready for them! Then travel through the Terror Time Tunnel to emerge in the present and if you're feeling brave you can choose to face your fears and descend into in the former plague pit; the London Tombs where a few more surprises will chill your bones. It's a thrilling experience using the latest in Hollywood style wizardry and our marvellous real life characters guiding you through the ages on the bridge. Get ready to be entertained and amazed at what you will see. The London Bridge Experience and London Tombs understands that not everyone understands English, so to enhance the visitor experience the attraction has introduced Multilingual Audio Guides in 6 languages to cater for its growing number of international visitors. These languages at the moment are: English Spanish French Polish German Italian Customer satisfaction is at the heart of the Management strategy at this award winning attraction and doesn’t want any of its wealth of history to get missed due to language barriers. The London Bridge Experience will still be an interactive experience with live actors entertaining its visitor but the audio guides will mean all guests will leave having engaged in the 2000 years of the history at the world’s most famous, and most haunted bridge. Feel the ground shake as you march in Queen Boudicca’s army, discover the gruesome fate of Tudor traitors, sneak through the dark streets of Victorian London and follow in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper
