Most tourists looking for Royal London head to Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. Peter Marshall takes us on a tour of London’s less well-known sights with royal connections, like Queen’s Park in Brent, Park Royal in Ealing, the Royal Dockyards in Newham, breakfast at Joe Edwards Snack Bar in Queen Elizabeth St in Bermondsey, to see the boats on the River Thames from the Shipwrights’ Palace in Deptford, Lewisham, and for a spot of souvenir hunting in Lambeth’s Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre.
