The
Temple Pyx, c. 1150 at Temple Church. Kind
permission of Temple Church.
|
Situated in the Inner Temple, Temple Church is the
epicentre of Templar/Priory activities in the UK. This is
where Langdon and Neveu begin their search in London for the
Holy Grail.
En route, drive down London's Fleet Street, also
featured in the book and the ex-home of London's newspaper
industry. Pass by King's College, where Langdon and
Neveu, with the help of a resident researcher, searched for
the meaning to the clue 'in London lies a knight a pope
interred'.
This takes us on to Westminster Abbey and to the
grave tomb of Sir Isaac Newton where Langdon and Neveu
finally find out the identity of "the Teacher".
Your guide will drive you via St James's Park, one of
London's royal parks, bordered by 3 Royal Palaces. It is
here that "the Teacher" disposes of one of his unwanted
accomplices. Also visit London's National Gallery
which houses the Da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks, referred to
in the novel.
Prices: same as London.
Please note, you can include the Da Vinci code locations in
a general full day, 7 hour tour of London's most historic
sights (The Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben,
the Houses of Parliament and much more ...)
