If you like humorous history, quirky facts and hidden surprises, this walk right in the centre of London is the tour for you. We walk around some of London‘s most famous areas and familiar landmarks, but you won’t hear the stories kids learn at school. Having lived in London all my life, I decided to dig out the wacky parts of its history. I‘m also an avid traveller and understand the importance of experiencing a city with a local guide. But more importantly, I love sharing this city‘s amazing history! On this tour, you’ll learn about the secret behind the flow of the River Thames, the origins of the name “Covent Garden”, and the story of a drink most wouldn‘t associate with Britain. You‘ll also discover: • How the Americans stole coffee from the British • The only street in London that confuses taxi drivers • London‘s most notorious 18th-century brothel and the now-extinct police force that shut it down • The last Victorian gas lamp in the city • London‘s hidden Italian-style square • ...and much more! Whether you’re visiting London for the first time or are a local curious about the city‘s alternative tales, this tour is a valuable introduction to the city‘s alternative history. Allow 1 to 1.5 hours for this walk. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars are along the route for a quick (or lengthy!) stop.
