Join us for a 3hr historical stumble down the "street of shame". Starting in the shadow of the iconic St.Paul's cathedral, we explore the tiny backstreets and rambling courtyards the ancient City of London is famous for. We follow in the drunken footsteps of literary greats including Dickens, Shakespeare, Pepys & Johnson whilst pausing for a drink in at least 4 of the most historic pubs dating as far back as the 1500's. From discovering art nouveau gems to glamorous Victorian gin palaces we enjoy a variety of pub styles and breweries along the way. It's not a prescriptive tour, so you choose & pay for your drinks along the way. We're here to offer recommendations, and you can often "sip before you sup" with a few tasters on request from the bars along the way. This allows you to indulge as much or as little as you desire! Non-drinkers can soak up the history, and wine & gin-lovers are also well catered for. We usually finish up on the edge of Covent Garden perfect for theatre-land, restaurants and of course more pubs! Other note: - Guests are recommended to be over 18 years of age to enjoy the walk at its best. Anyone lucky enough to look under 25 years of age should bring photo ID - Group sizes of up to 14 participants - Alfie the dog is not always in attendance. Sorry! N.B. We have a small number of hosts so you might be meeting up with Chris, Mark, Wil or other

London is only truly experienced when you venture off the well-worn tourist track so that you can see, hear and feel the place the same way a local does. Only then will you get close to the true essence, to the true heart, to the very fabric of the place you are in and have an experience like no other. We are going to leave the touristy mainstream London to the side and explore its unseen and authentic neighbourhoods outside the centre because this is where the ordinary Londoners acutally live their everyday lifes! We'll see vibrant communities, walk along a local street market, discover urban oddities, delve into London's modern urban history, and examine its current challenges as well as future developments. Although the tour takes six hours, it is easily doable and not exhausting, and time flies. While moving around on trains and buses you'll be able to sit a bit and there's also a 40-min lunch break at a market in between. (Food not included.) START: at Paddington station (West London) FINISH: near Canada Water station (South East London) The experience might end 15 mins late if traffic is slow. I recommend taking my tour right at the beginning of your visit because it will greatly enhance your understanding of London. "Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London, show you something to make you change your mind." Fabian

Join me as we venture into the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter in London! On this walking tour of London's streets we will watch clips from the movies while I regale you with behind-the-scenes stories of those locations and how they were used in the film series. Our first stop will be the entrance to Diagon Alley, before we pop down to see the Ministry of Magic, and find out which Leaky Cauldron has the best tacos, as well as others I don't want to spoil here. I will also share some of the strangest, funniest non-HP facts I've learned about London along the way. We will finish at Borough Market, London's top street food destination, with King's Cross just a separate Tube ride away. PLEASE be aware the tour is offered in English only, and it is largely story-based, so a better-than-basic conversational grasp of English is essential. While witches and wizards of all ages are welcome, due to the amount of walking and the content, I more recommend it for ages 11+. Strictly one person per slot. No exceptions. Step-free route for wheelchairs available This London street walking tour is not affiliated with the WB Studio Tour at Watford. Other things to note Every person (over 11yo) will need an Oyster card or contactless payment method with at least £2.40. Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult. The tour contains about 90 minutes of brisk walking.

Join us on a majestic journey through time as we discover four historic, hidden, royal pubs dating back centuries that you would never find alone! Uncover the mysteries concealed beneath the streets of London, where alleyways and secret tunnels have transported kings and queens of years gone by. Discover the palace where Ed Sheeran nearly lost an ear during a night of revelry with a princess, and be regaled with thrilling and hilarious stories of scandal, romance, intrigue, and legendary events. Hear tales of Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, James Bond, Queen Elizabeth II, and many other great British characters while sampling awesome British beers in off-the-beaten-path pub sanctuaries. Your exquisite walking adventure will immerse you in the unseen grandeur of London’s past and present while avoiding the crowds and doing as the locals do. Your expert, charming guide is guaranteed to amaze and have you laughing throughout with engaging storytelling, enthusiasm, and plenty of humour.

Join me as we explore London's wild spaces after dark to discover the amazing world of bats. As dusk falls, mysterious creatures emerge from under bridges and out of old trees to hunt. Surrounded by myth and misconceptions, bats are a truly unique group of animals, and much misunderstood. The focus will be on learning all about bats and their unique biology, why they are so important as ecological 'keystone species', how they navigate in the dark and how each species is highly adapted to its way of life. We'll watch them hunting in various habitats, and excitingly we will use handheld electronic bat detectors to listen to their ultrasonic echolocation calls. You'll learn how to identify various species, from the tiny flitting Pipistrelles that can fit into a matchbox, to the incredible and comical looking Brown Long Eared bat. With luck, we may spot the Daubenton's or water bat skimming the water surface like a tiny hovercraft. Or our largest bat, the Noctule, almost bird-like flying in open skies with it's military 'chip-chop' call. We frequently encounter other nocturnal wildlife too, like owls, foxes, hedgehogs and badgers. Who knows what the evening will reveal! Other things to note Social distancing can be observed, bat detectors wiped down between uses. The walk is very safe as many joggers and walkers use the Heath to cut through, even in late evenings. We'll be sticking to wide open paths for the most part, but need to take care of trip hazards

Rejoignez-moi pour découvrir l'histoire de la présence française à Londres (visite en français - Tour in French) Marchons ensemble sur les pas des Français dans le quartier de Soho (Londres) et découvrons la vie de particuliers, de groupes et d'entreprises qui se sont établis ici du XVIIeme siècle à nos jours. Soho à Londres est célèbre pour sa vie la nuit, mais au XIXeme siècle, ce quartier de Londres était parfois appelé "the French colony" depuis que des Huguenots étaient venus s'y installer pour échapper aux persécutions en France. Nous nous retrouverons sur Soho Square devant l'église protestante française. Nous marcherons ensuite et évoquerons certains lieux tels que French House, des rues, une chapelle huguenote and divers commerces historiques qui sont les traces de l'implanation de la communauté francophone dans ce quartier. Nous poursuivrons vers Leicester Square avec Notre Dame de France et terminerons dans le West End avec Covent Garden. Nous n'entrerons pas dans les édifices. La marche durera environ 2 heures et sera entrecoupée d'arrêts multiples. Website: www.frenchlondonexperience.com

We will take you on a walk through the dark and narrow streets of London's famous Victorian East End. We will trace the footsteps and crime scenes of the murders Jack the Ripper committed. This tour is not for the faint hearted. Allow us to set the scene… It is the autumn of 1888, and a sinister serial killer is loose on the streets of London’s East End. At first he is known simply as ‘The Whitechapel Murderer’. But in time, thanks to a mysterious letter sent to a London news agency (a copy of which you will be shown in the course of the walk), he will become known as ‘Jack the Ripper,’ in which capacity his name will become famous throughout the world. You will see: - The places and buildings where his victims were murdered and found - Streets, buildings and alleyways that have hardly changed since 1888 - The pubs and buildings where his victims drank, worked and lived - The doorway where Jack the Ripper’s only clue was discovered - Police photos of the victims and evidence. Other things to note: Bring an umbrella if it is raining (or looks likes rain) Lots of opportunities for photos, bring a camera. Remember comfy shoes, there is a little walking involved

The British Museum is a fascinating but also challenging place to visit.. the sheer number of artefacts and stories to discover can be quite daunting. This tour will guide curious visitors along a fun and often shocking narrative to discover the beauty of ancient cultures, come up close to staggering works of art, and also learn about how it all arrived inside the museum. There is hidden mythology, mysticism, art and history galore, but there is also a running controversy to several items on display related to violent colonial exchanges, looting, theft, or other questionable practices of ownership. I try to explain their arrival at the museum and update on their complicated status. Some of these stories may not be very pleasant, but knowing about them generates constructive discussion of the issues involved. It would be an honor to walk and talk about all this together on a two hour tour. We'll explore the items from: - Deities and warrior kings from Mesopotamia - Statues and mummies from Egypt, including the Rosetta Stone - Gods and temples from Greece - Roman artwork - Anglo-Saxon and Viking hoards - Bronzes from Benin - Ancient artefacts from China and India - Aztec blood rituals ...and many more fascinating bits of history!

Enjoy the unseen backstreets as your local guide, also a professional musician, regales you with funny stories about characters like Elton John, John Lennon, and Eric Clapton. Finish off with a beer and the world's best rock 'n' roll story at a local pub steeped in rock 'n' roll history.
