London is often called ‘the city of villages’ and there’s no doubt that the best way to appreciate the unique character of all the different areas is on foot. Walks can be themed to a particular interest or historic era or can simply take in everything a certain area of London has to offer. Here are a few suggestions of walks:

Parks, Palaces and Politics – an introduction to Westminster, the heart of the British government and monarchy. The Houses of Parliament, London’s most beautiful park and the royal residences are all included in this walk. We may even catch the famous Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.

Jack the Ripper – be prepared for dark alleys and bloodthirsty tales. We recreate the ‘autumn of terror, 1888’ when the Whitechapel murderer roamed the streets of the East End of London.

Ghost Walk – ghouls and spooks haunt the dark corners of the City of London. Hear tales of execution, murder and grave robbing.

Legal London – a tour of the Inns of Court, an ancient area of London still lit by gas lamps and long associated with the legal profession.

Mayfair – stories of intrigue abound in this beautiful part of London where the rich and famous have lived and loved for centuries.

Da Vinci Code Tour – from the little round church to find ‘a knight a Pope interred’, we follow in the footsteps of Sophie and Robert as they try and solve the riddle.

Bridget Jones and friends – a ‘film walk’ that takes in several film locations including the place where Bridget lived amongst colourful markets and cobbled streets.

Theatreland and Soho – the little area of central London known as Soho is home to most of London’s world famous theatres and clubs and is a colourful corner of the entertainment district.

The City of London – the financial heart of our city holds so many fascinating secrets. We delve down through the layers of the city to the Great Fire of 1666, medieval London and beyond.

Roman London – we go on a hunt for ancient Londinium as we trace the origins of London back almost 2,000 years. Aided by a visit to the Museum of London we see how the Romans lived in Britannia and what happened to London when they left.

Diana and Royal Kensington – we see the places most associated with Diana plus her home, Kensington Palace, which displays some of her iconic dresses.

Shakespeare and Southwark – we take a look at a part of London Shakespeare knew well - Bankside, the entertainment district of the 16th century!
