How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Explore one of London's coolest neighborhoods, and see why Shoreditch is known as one of the city's hippest (or most hipster) parts. Your host will open your eyes to the neighborhood's unique character as you stroll through streets plastered with murals and paste-ups, including street art by Banksy - spot them if you can.
Or there's Inivia - the Institute of International Visual Arts, which showcases the works of British artists of Black and Asian descent, offering an alternative narrative to London's mainstream art scene. Rifle through vintage stores to your heart's content, graze your way through the quirky street food markets, and if you're in dire need of a craft beer or cocktail, you've come to the right place!

Shopping with Becky was fabulous. She knew the places to go so that I could buy what I wanted and have the experience that I was hoping to get. She was fun and knowledgeable. She took me for my first ride on the tube and on a double decker bus. It wasn’t my first time in London, but it was the best. Becky helped me tease my son because they support different teams. Even he enjoyed it.

It will be tailored to what you want to do. Going to the types of shops that you are interested in makes all the difference. I was able to buy exactly what I wanted while seeing some places in London that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I have some good pictures from the experience.

We had a fantastic tour with our delightful tour guide, Tom. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us many incredible details about the city we toured (Shoreditch). Tom was fun, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He did a great job of including the sites and activities we wanted from our tour. This is our 3rd tour with CityUnscripted (Paris, Tokyo, and now London). Every tour guide has been outstanding and left a huge impression on our experience of the area we visited. We look forward to our next destination and CityUnscripted tour! We wouldn't want to visit a town with it. Thank you, Tom/CU team!
