A really excellent tour. I’ve taken loads of walking tours in London but I learnt many new things from this one. Highly recommended.

Two New Tours published in October, check out the tours page
Just taken the tour during a short break in London. I was amazed that there was so much more to the area of Westminster than parliament. The commentary and directions were easy to understand and there were a lot of interesting facts and story's.
