Friday, August 6th, 2010

Have a watch of the introduction to our London Jack the Ripper Walks.

Our walks are the only one’s to be consistently led by experts, four of whom are internationally recognised as leading authorities on the Jack the Ripper mystery.

Furhermore ours is the only Jack the Ripper Tour that starts right in the heart of the area wehere the murders occurred.

The tour takes place seven chilling nights a week at 7pm and, since we are the only London walks compnay to limit the numbers on our Walks, we ask you to book your Jack the Ripper Walk in order that we can limit the participants on our tours to a sensible and manageable number.

Also, we are the only Jack the Ripper walk to provide a full online resource of Jack the Ripper information.

Anyway, here’s the video - hope you enjoy it.

Walks and Other Things To Do in London

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

If you are visiting London and looking for things to do then our walks offer you the opportunity to see much more of a city that spent 2,000 years preparing for your visit.

On our Roman London walks, for example, we take you back to the origins of London. If you come out of Tower Hill Underground Station you will find your self confronted by a remnant of the wall from the Roma City of London.

Many people come out of the station, pay it a quick glance and then hurry on to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, or whatever other destination has brough them to Tower Hill.

However, those who join our Story of London walks will find that this segment of the old wall, whilst certainly impressive, is not the be all and end all  of Roman London.

Indeed, tucked away in a courtyard behind the station is an even more impressive section of the wall. The upper level of this section is medieval, but the lower section is Roman.

It is one of those “wow” moments on our London walks, when participants stand before it and find themselves looking up in awe and a truly impressive remnant of bygone London.

It is typical of the sort of thing you can discover when you leave behind the busy main roads and begin exploring the backstreets and hidden places of London.

It also illustrates why London is a City to explore on foot. London walks make this possible and with us you have a choice of how to do this.

We offer our regular night time Jack the Ripper walks and Ghost Tours guided by our  range of excellent guides.

But we are the only one of the London walks companies that offer you a range of free walks of London. These can be printed off and done in your own time and at your own pace.
