City of London Walking Tours

London is a city built in layers, with royal ceremony, church spires and centuries-old lanes all within a short walk of each other. Students get a real sense of scale here, from wide processional streets built for state occasions to the narrower, older city that survived the Great Fire. 

Choose from two private walking tour options below, both led by a dedicated local guide.
