London Weekend Walks
We are the oldest walking tour company in London and offer a wide variety of routes with the best tour guides in London.
To go on one of our walks, simply meet your guide and fellow walkers in the street outside the underground stations and at the times given below. Your guide will have copies of this information sheet in his hand.
Below is our range of walks for this Saturday.
1000 Years of History
11.00 am Westminster Underground
This walk is essential for the first-time visitor. We'll show you the place where kings and queens are crowned, where they lived and often where they are buried. You will see where politicians have shaped the course of history over the years. This walk finishes at the Houses of Parliament, which you can visit afterwards at a good discount.
Historic Greenwich
2.00 pm Tower Hill Underground
The walk begins with the best boat ride in London, five kilometres down the river from Tower Bridge to the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. From there you'll walk through Greenwich Park past the Naval Museum and other historic buildings to the village itself. We'll take you down narrow streets with busy antique shops and markets, back to the riverside where this walk ends.
The boat trip costs £3.50 on top of the normal price (see below).
Canals and Cafés
11.00 am Camden Town Underground
Camden Town, with its canals, cafés and studios, is the home of many artists, musicians and writers. The high point of the walk is a visit to Camden Lock, London's brightest and most exciting street market. You may like to take a canal trip to London Zoo after this walk.
Unexpected London
3.00 pm Tower Hill Underground
This walk begins with a ride on Europe's most modern city railway giving you fine views across the Thames and the riverside area. We will get on and off the train for mini-walks to explore the hidden corners of the former port of London.
You should buy a two-zone underground ticket at the beginning of your journey.
All these walks last about two hours and end near underground stations. The walks take place in all weathers. Large groups are requested to phone and let us know they are coming. A walk costs £4.50 (£3.50 for senior citizens and full-time students under 26 with an identity card). Children under 12 go free but they must be with a responsible adult. If you plan to go on several walks, ask your guide about a discount card.
