It might seem an odd thing to say for a compnay that conducts London walks but there is a lot more to do in London than just walking about.

Don’t get me wrong on this, Walking is a great way to discover all the wonderful places that this wonderful city has to offer, but if it was just about taking a walk, well you could quite simply pick up a map or and A to Z and head off through the streets of the capital on your own voyage of discovery.

Whereas that’s a great way to get about London, come to think of it it’s an excellent way to get about, but we like to think that we offer you just that little bit more than just, plain simple London walks.

You see the thing about being taken on a guided tour is that you get a full, dare I say it, theatrical experience. A good London walking tour guide will be able to really bring the past to life or, as we like to say, will breathe life in to the history that surrounds you.

It’s one thing, for example, to know that Shakespeare lived and worked in Southwark, on the south side of the River Thames from St. Paul’s Cathedral, but it’s quite another thing to learn about the people he lived and worked with, to hear great little anecdotes that bring his life and his times to vivid life.

Likewise, it’s great read in a book that a certain building in London is haunted by the ghost of a woman in white, but when you hear the tale on one of our exciting  London walks you have it told by a masterful storyteller whose narrative will creep you out and have you looking over your shoulder lest the white lady in question is sneaking up on you at that very moment.

These are just a few examples of the difference between just walking around with a map and having a guide take you round on one of our London Walking Tours.
