London landmark walk: Westminster to the palace

London’s four curated Charms form two useful pairs: the river landmarks at Westminster, and Buckingham Palace with the nearby Red Phone Box pin. Start with the pair closest to you; there is no need to cross the whole city to begin collecting.

Choose the walk that fits your day

A smaller first outing

Start with Big Ben and the London Eye on opposite sides of Westminster Bridge. Use the pedestrian crossing and allow time for crowds and photos.

When you have more time

Add the palace area through St James’s Park if time and access allow. Treat the app’s Red Phone Box as a specific pin near the palace, not any telephone box you happen to see.

These are our editorial route suggestions, not measured itineraries or an accessibility assessment. Live Trails build from nearby available Charms and may select different stops.

The London collection, stop by stop

  1. 01

    Big Ben

    Start on the Westminster side of the river. Check the in-app pin from a safe public pavement; do not approach restricted parliamentary entrances.

  2. 02

    London Eye

    Cross the Thames for a different view. The outdoor sightseeing stop and admission to the wheel are separate experiences.

  3. 03

    Buckingham Palace

    Add the palace as a westward extension. Ceremonies and security controls can interrupt the obvious route.

  4. 04

    Red Phone Box

    Follow the exact in-app location near the palace. If the spot is inaccessible or does not match what you see, skip it and tell support.

Visitor access comes first

Passported is free to download, with optional in-app purchases. It does not include attraction tickets, transport or permission to enter private areas. A Charm may be unavailable if its pin cannot be reached safely and legally. Never cross a barrier, road or waterway just to claim it.
