It’s definitely easier to find your feet with a friend by your side, especially when they’re spilling a local secret or two.

Kickstart London: a three-hour crash course

Where you’ll go

You’ll explore the historic heart of central London on the north bank of the River Thames. From the timeless elegance of Regents Street - a shopper’s paradise - you can duck down a side street and emerge in eclectic Soho, a small district of tight-knit lanes that are bursting with quirky bars, shops and places to eat. Keep walking south and you’ll pass through charming Covent Garden until you reach the Strand, one of London’s busiest streets which runs parallel to the river. You’ll spot famous landmarks like Trafalgar Square, and amongst all the double-decker red buses and black cabs, you’ll have found your feet in London without even realizing!
