A Walk in London

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

London walks are a great way to get to know and to explore London. There are, of course, many companies that offer guided tours that you can join for a modest fee, which is often around £7.

However, we are the only one of all the London walks companies that offers you free DIY self guided tours.

Why do we do this?

Quite simply because we are 100% passionate about London and we want as many people as possible to get the thrill of discovering parts of this great city that they might otherwise miss.

That is why we have been sending out our Harry Potter London Tour (we recently sent out 50 downloads in one day!) and that is why we have a whole range of London walks on our sister site www.walksoflondon.co.uk.

We will be doing the update on our Harry Potter Tour today and will be including the brief opening segment which has some fantastic views of London’s magnificent skyline.  The new version of the tour (our fourth version this year) will go live on Thursday.

We are just putting the finishing touches to our Riverside Pub walk that will take you into some of the Thames’s most atmospheric and historic riverside pubs. In striving to make the tour unique we’ve come up with a very novel idea that we’re sure you will love when you see what it is.

We’re also putting together an in depth DIY London tour that will take you to all the major sights in a day and will also enable you to enjoy some of the more secret places that this great City has to offer. London walks don’t come better than that - a tour that covers the whole of London.

September 3rd will be the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two and in the lead up we will be adding to our previous blogs that covered London in the Blitz.

Of course we do also conduct our own guided London walks on which our expert guides will introduce you to themes such as Jack the Ripper’s East End, the Alleyways and Shadows of the Old City haunted London walk. and the Ghosts, Ghouls and Graveyards tour. For details of these walks please visit our dedicated website at www.rippertour.com.

The Harry Potter tour update will be going live on Thursday so please check back with the website if you would like the most up to date version of this higly popular London walk. You can receive it by sending us an email request to
