Those who have visited this amazing city know that there are tourist attractions to suit everybody, no matter what your interests are.  There are untold organised tours to go see museums, galleries, to go see and do simply everything imaginable.

Rediscover your inner child

Get off the beaten tourist track; throw away all those tourist itineraries and lists of ‘best museums and popular attractions’. Get off the bus, put on your walking shoes and go on one of the many London walks, but with a difference. Go on a treasure hunt and become a child again. Follow the clues and have fun in ways adults have all but forgotten.

Take one day out of your over-full schedule and join a group of other enthusiasts. Become a modern day Sherlock Holmes; go on the Baker Street treasure hunt with your envelope of clues in hand. Wend your way and see all the interesting places as you hunt down the next clue and the next.

There are treasure hunts for history buffs, hunts to suit the most eccentric and the bold. Race through the docklands and the backstreets of Hampstead. These treasure hunts are the most innovative way ever to see London. Use your feet and walk up an appetite.

Whether you are a visiting tourist or a London local there is always something to see and do in London city. London is one of the largest cities in Europe and all the traffic and other pollution that the city and its inhabitants produce every day is already loading the environment with strain.

Add to that all the bus tours and other vehicle driven tours that go around the city to the most famous tourist and sightseeing hotspots. Why not go green for a change with a London walking tour.

Walk, discover and be environmentally friendly at the same time

Instead of taking that bus tour to the most visited spots around London city, why not take a guided walking tour through some of the more historic and lesser visited streets and areas and get to know the city more intimately. You can think of London at a celebrity, the famous spots are the tabloid stories but the guided walking tours take you inside the city where paparazzi don’t venture.

Go green for the environment while you discover London afresh. Walking tours save fossil fuels, exhaust emissions and noise pollution to name but a few benefits. For the fitness-freak or someone just wanting to get a bit of exercise while on holiday, a London walking tour is the perfect way to see and experience the city. A walking tour lets you go green by providing you with leisurely exercise while you get to visit the more unique hotspots London has to offer.

It is often difficult for people who were born in London and have lived there all their lives to realise they have unique privileges. Many of them take for granted the beautiful buildings that are many hundreds of years old, the quirky cobbled streets found everywhere and the sense of history that cloaks the entire city. For others who come from young countries - for example Australia and South Africa, -  London is a wonder world.

They come from countries where everything is brand new when compared to the ancient places in the UK. England was already old when many of these countries were newly colonised. Put yourself in their shoes when they walk into a building that dates back to the 12th century; it is pure magic.

Where time stands still

This makes the wonderful selection of London walking tours an amazing experience. Not only is there a huge variety to choose from, each of these walking tours take you back to a special time, you can experience what life was like, that we can only read about in books now. Shakespeare comes alive; he is no longer simply books or plays. You walk where he walked around on a normal day and this gives you unforgettable glimpses into a world that no longer exists.

The list is endless as each of the different walking tours focus on a time period, a well-known figure in history, some famous, some notorious. Take one of the village walks, leave modern London behind and for a few hours absorb the atmosphere of secret parts of London. You will wrap an extraordinary experience around you that will leave an impression for life.
