London Walks
-
London Walks is a fantastic company that offers a huge array of guided walks around London for only £6. As any Londoner knows, NOTHING in this city costs only £6, so this is not only a bargain, but a really different, interesting and fun way to spend 2 hours.
There are so many different types of walks that cover all areas and all aspects of London’s history (and present) from ‘Ghosts of the Old City’ to ‘Shakespeare’s London’ to walks that take you through locations used in the movies. Personally I have gone on the Law Courts walk, the ‘Jack the Ripper’s London’ walk and the ‘Spies & Spycatchers’ walk. Each was incredibly interesting and informative, and they show you sides and places of London you never knew were there. The guides often also work as actors, so are great at public speaking and keeping things entertaining. The timetable varies and the walks run every day of the week, all through the day. They also offer seasonal special walks, like ‘The Charles Dickens Christmas’. With no need to book, I would 100{'dkimages': '/dkimages'}ecommend this to anyone, as a filler for a couple of hours in the city, or as an activity on a sunny day. A fantastic way to see so many of the London highlights!

The first time I tried a London Walks tour, I took the "Along the Thames" walk with David and I was SOLD! The walk was phenomenal! He covered history, culture, architecture, art, science and everything in between. The information just poured forth and I was riveted! We stopped at 2 pubs along the way and ended at the third. While we were at one pub, he went down to the river at low tide and found old roof tiles & pipe pieces that had been washing in the Thames for centuries. And he handed them out. Unlucky me I didn't get one, but what a souvenir that would have been! I've since taken more tours from this company, including an Explorer Day to Oxford and they are FIRST class! You have never enjoyed learning so much, for such little expense in so little time, and with some nice pub visits thrown in!
