London Walks at its best

Secret London. Hidden London. Off the beaten track London. “I never knew this was here” London. Well, I never London.

And “the best tour guide you could want.”

MEET “THE BEST TOUR GUIDE YOU COULD WANT”

Here’s Sam talking about his gem of a new walk

Pineapples, pelicans, maidens, leopards, griffins and more…

And their significance, their meaning.

As we walk we uncover the hidden stories of the buildings and monuments. We see St Pauls, Temple Bar, Guildhall, Royal Exchange, Bank of England and Mansion House.

And we talk about the history of the city from the Romans up to today.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE GUIDING
