Private City Walking Tour

What your day looks like

Our London City Walking Tour covers all the most iconic and historically significant sights that light up the capital's skyline from the Gherkin to Tower Bridge. Your walk starts from outside St. Paul’s Underground station, where you’ll meet your guide and begin by observing the magnificence of the cathedral of the same name, learning of its history, significance, and the legendary architect behind its creation. Feast your eyes on the bold and beautiful geometry of the One New Change Building as you weave your way through narrow and twisting alleyways towards the geographic center of London. Your path will then bring you out into Bow Churchyard, where St. Mary-le-Bow’s church bells sounded when the old gates to the city were being opened. Soak in the history as your guide regales you with tales of local tradition and interesting facts about the church’s rich past. Heading east, you’ll arrive at the heart of the old financial district, where the Bank of England and the Roman columns of the residence of the Lord Mayor radiate power and elegance. Next up is Leadenhall Market, a 19th-century Victorian trading post now home to a diverse selection of bars, restaurants, and boutique shopping choices. As your guide leads you on, admire the unique and iconic architecture of classic London buildings like the ‘Gherkin’ and the ‘Cheese Grater’ dwarfing their neighbors against the skyline of London. For the final leg of your tour, you’ll pass a historic pub frequented by some of England’s most revered authors, and visit the monument to the Great Fire that leveled London in the 17th century. Finally, you’ll head towards the Thames, arriving at the Tower of London, home of the Crown Jewels and one of London’s oldest structures. Here you’ll say goodbye to your guide, as the river and the glorious parapets of Tower Bridge stretch out before you.
