										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Includes timed entrance to the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace</h3>
<p>On one of our Buckingham Palace Tours for Groups, you will experience one of the most luxurious palaces in the world.</p>
<p>Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837. Today it is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The King, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every summer during August and September.<br />
Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms; these include 19 State Rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. In measurements, the building is 108 metres across, 120 metres deep (including the central quadrangle) and 24 metres high.</p>
<p>Above all, when visiting Buckingham Palace tours, see the 19 magnificent State Rooms. These rooms provide the setting for special occasions and official entertaining<em>.</em></p>
<p>Today, Buckingham Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy, serving as the venue for many royal events and ceremonies from entertaining foreign Heads of States to celebrating achievement at Investitures and receptions.</p>
<p>More than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to State Banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and Garden Parties. His Majesty also holds weekly audiences with the Prime Minister and receives newly-appointed foreign Ambassadors at Buckingham Palace.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Monopoly ! &#8211; Shake the dice and see the sights on this tour that won’t break the bank! During this virtual ‘Monopoly’ game your guided coach tour will take you around some of London’s most iconic streets from Whitehall to Piccadilly. We will land on <strong>The Bank of England Museum, </strong>where you can learn about 300 years of England’s financial history. After a short walking tour of <strong>Covent Garden </strong>we will conclude our game at <strong>The</strong> <strong>London Eye, </strong>where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views across London. On this tour everyone is a winner.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>History of Monopoly</strong></span></p>
<p>The history of <i>Monopoly</i> can be traced back to 1903,when American anti-monopolist <a title="Lizzie Magie" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Magie">Lizzie Magie</a> created a game called <i><a title="The Landlord's Game" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game">The Landlord&#8217;s Game</a></i> that she hoped would explain the <a title="Georgism" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism">single-tax</a> theory of <a title="Henry George" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George">Henry George</a> as laid out in his book <i><a title="Progress and Poverty" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_and_Poverty">Progress and Poverty</a></i>. She devised the key features of the game. It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private <a title="Monopoly" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly">monopolies</a>. She took out a patent in 1904. This shows the game&#8217;s characteristic features of a square circuit consisting of corner squares (one the starting point) and a series of intervening spaces where players went round and round until the game&#8217;s goal was reached. The railway stations were hazards, demanding a $5 fine. Players received money after completing each circuit. This design was different from other board games of the time. It is possible, but not definitely known, that she was inspired by a game called <a title="Zohn Ahl" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohn_Ahl">Zohn Ahl</a>, played by the <a title="Kiowa" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiowa">Kiowa</a> which had a similar shaped board but different rules, and was described in a book about games in 1898.Her game was self-published beginning in 1906. <sup id="cite_ref-atlas_obscura_14-0" class="reference"></sup></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Have yourself a merry little Christmas at Winter Wonderland!</h3>
<p>Get that Christmassy feeling with our tour visiting Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London. Christmas Markets are spread throughout the Capital, including markets beside the Thames by City Hall and stretching from the Millennium Bridge to Waterloo Bridge. But the main event is truly at Hyde Park. <strong>The Winter Wonderland</strong> boasts around 50 German style wooden chalets and amusements. Including ice skating, a funfair packed with a carousel and large scale rides and plenty of food and drink outlets, there is something for everybody. The Winter Wonderland is normally open from the middle of November to the start of January and it&#8217;s free to enter, though individual amusements may charge.</p>
<p>Wonderland is a popular attraction in the heart of London, so the afternoon and early evening are the best times to visit. Entrance is close to Marble Arch underground station or Park Lane.</p>
<p>There is the opportunity to combine this with some pre-Christmas shopping on Oxford Street and don&#8217;t forget the Christmas lights of London. Take a moment to wander along Oxford Street or Regent Street for the best views gazing up at the lights above head &#8211; just watch out for the quick-moving locals.</p>
