Walk the
streets of London with London Walks - £10
each, no need to book, just meet your guide outside the designated tube
station, rain or shine, each tour lasts two hours, a hundred (or more!)
different walks to choose from, in and around London (Bath, Cambridge, Cotswolds,
Oxford, Stonehenge etc.), from themes on history, literary (Shakespeare, Dickens,
Oscar Wilde, Sherlock Holmes), music (The Beatles), film (Harry Potter), street
art, pubs, ghost (Jack the Ripper), the legal & illegal, the darkest,
secret, hidden …
- Old Westminster – 1000 years of history, where kings and queens are crowned, where they lived and were buried. ‘And to see it with a great guide is to have that past suddenly rise to the surface’.
- The Lure Of The Underground – 150 years of engineering and artistry from the inside.
- Along The Thames Pub Walk – London’s last remaining galleried coaching inn, its best riverside walkway, its oldest market, the most sensational art gallery in the world, lots of pub lore and its most stunning skyline panorama.
- The Street Art Walk – ‘People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish … but that’s only if it’s done properly’ – Banksy. This outdoor gallery (Shoreditch and Spitafields) gets ‘rehung’ every few months. ‘Six months is the average life span of street art in east London, so the walk – true to the scene – changes all the time.’
- A Soho Saunter – Everything humming with life: ‘shutters going up, flower boxes being watered, freshly baked bread carried into restaurants, waiters in white aprons serving Turkish coffee at pavement cafes, Chinatown bestirring itself, the colour and clamour of Berwick Street market’.
- Old Kensington – ‘Royal Kensington is London at its best – picturesque, stimulating, and full of character.’
- Old Hampstead Village – London’s most picturesque neighbourhood with its perfectly preserved Georgian village crowning the top of a handsome hill.
- Foodies London Walks – Epicurean, Gourmet’s, Foodies’ London; Pie Crust to Upper Crust Culinary Destinations; Foodies’ London The West End; Biscuits & Banquets.
