What you'll do

Spend half a day exploring London and experience what makes it so unique. From the Royal Parks to centuries of history along the Thames, pop-up markets to a thriving street art scene, your host can’t wait to share the diversity of their city.

Perhaps visit historic markets like Old Spitalfields, where you’ll find vintage clothes, British-designed and made jewelry, and quirky artwork, or you could head further east to Hackney and taste London’s booming brew culture as you stop by a quirky craft brewery like Howling Hops.

Or if it’s a quintessentially British experience you’re dreaming of, what about visiting Buckingham Palace and then indulging in a British afternoon tea at one of your local's favorite spots?

Where you’ll go

If you’d like to discover London’s iconic central areas, you could start in charming Covent Garden, then take a stroll across Waterloo Bridge until you reach vibrant Southbank, then amble along the river until you cross the river once again at Westminster, where you’ll see landmarks like Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.

If you’re interested in discovering a more local side of London, you could visit neighborhoods like Brixton in south London, a multicultural area known for its global markets and projects like Pop Brixton, a collection of street food kitchens, and even a community garden.

Or perhaps chic Islington, a north London neighborhood known for its stylish restaurants and boutiques as well as its cafe culture is more your style?

    We spent the day with a lovely woman named Bea. She was honestly the best tour guide we ever had. She catered to our every desire in what we wanted to see. She took us to a lovely little café for lunch as well and it was some of the best food we had. Bea was so knowledgeable and friendly and we learned so much about London. Bea is the type of tour guide that I would want as a good friend if I lived here! She never made us feel rushed and made sure to pack in everything we wanted to see. Thank you Bea!

    David guided us thru a great walking tour of London, highlighting everything we wanted to see. 22,000 steps and counting, his knowledge of the history and workings of the city and UK government was great, Highly recommended....

    We were in London for the day and it would not have been possible to see what we did without Tom. He tailored the tour to our interests and even showed us some less known sites around London. He took so many pictures of us now we have memories we could never have gotten on our own. Tom was nice, entertaining as he told stories, and knew so much about London! Highly recommended requesting him specifically if you are headed to London for any amount of time and want a top notch guide!!!!
