London is a city best experienced step by step. Its rich tapestry of history, culture, and hidden stories is woven into every street corner, alleyway, and local neighbourhood. Our guided walking tours in London invite you to slow down and connect with the city in a more meaningful way.
From the multicultural energy of Soho and the literary charm of Bloomsbury to the political heart of Westminster and the vibrant street art of the East End, our tours cover a wide range of historic and culturally significant areas across London. Led by passionate local guides, many of whom have deep ties to the communities they explore, our walks uncover the hidden history and personal stories that larger, impersonal tours often miss.

“Our tour focused on print, publishing, communication and censorship and restrictions! It’s amazing how the past has echoes in the present day, and it was so interesting to hear about such a wide range of topics, from Thomas Moore and Samuel Johnson to William Wallace and Mary Whitehouse! Joanna has a great ability to pluck a myriad of facts and fascinating snippets of info out her brain, and I learnt so many new things, whilst wandering around parts of London that I thought I knew a little bit – it’s amazing how much more there is to find out! I’d definitely recommend taking a tour with Joanna – my brain is still buzzing with everything she shared with us!”
