Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Home of Charles Darwin Down House, Down House Luxted Road, Downe, Bromley BR6 7JT England
Visit Down House, the former family home of English naturalist, geologist and biologist, Charles Darwin.
Enjoy a private tour by car to the delightful Kent countryside, minutes away from busy London, through the country lanes to the village of Downe.
Darwin developed his theory of evolution by natural selection and wrote his controversial and ground-breaking work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) at Down House.
Explore the house’s museum and learn what Darwin discovered during his voyage on HMS Beagle.
Tour inside the property and get a glimpse of how this well-known family lived in Victorian times, now preserved by English Heritage.
Walk around the well-maintained gardens and see Darwin's greenhouse which provided an ideal environment for his many plant experiments.
Do something different which many visitors who visit London miss.
Join me, a local who can help bring you something unique. It’s educational and enjoyable for kids and adults alike.
This tour is 100% private, for just you and your family. I can customise it for you. Simply let me know what your requirements are and if you would like to visit another historical place, including the remains of a Roman Villa nearby; Chartwell House (former family home of Sir Winston Churchill); or one of my popular castle tours further in Kent, as part of this tour. I’ll then send you a quote and a suggested itinerary.
N.B. Down House is open most days but, during winter months, is usually only open at weekends between 4th November 2019 and 16th February 2020. Please enquire and I can make suggestions.
Duration: 3 hours
