Points of Interest
Stop At: Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge Road, London
Let’s be real—Tower Bridge is the showstopper. It looks medieval but it’s pure Victorian drama, built to impress and engineered to lift for passing ships. Your guide will reveal how this beauty confused enemies, wowed visitors, and became one of the most iconic photo ops in Europe. It’s part bridge, part flex, all London.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: Tower of London
London
No visit to London is complete without a stop here. Hear tales of royal scandals, famous prisoners, and the not-so-glamorous side of the crown. It's spooky, historic, and seriously photogenic.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: London Bridge
London
London Bridge might not look like much today, but this spot has seen centuries of action. From Roman engineers to medieval merchants living on the bridge, it’s had a wild ride. The current version, built in the '70s, replaced a 600-year-old stone bridge... and no, it’s not the one with the fancy towers (that’s Tower Bridge!).
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: Bank of England Museum
Bartholomew Lane, , London
Step into the heart of London’s financial world. This area may be all suits and numbers today, but it’s got a surprisingly dramatic past: crashes, vaults, and some serious old-school power moves.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: St. Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's Churchyard, London
Get ready to be wowed by London’s most iconic cathedral. Your guide will share how this masterpiece rose from the ashes of the Great Fire, survived the Blitz, and continues to host royal moments to this day.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: St. Clement Danes Church
The Strand, , London
Start your walk with a tribute to courage. This beautiful, often-overlooked church honors the Royal Air Force and those who lived, and died, through the Blitz. It's a moving intro to London’s wartime history.
Duration: 25 minutes
