Introduction

The London Walks is an ecellent way of discovering the city’s famous attractions and the hidden, more secret crannies—while enjoying the paths’ own unique features and conveniences.

Designed for both tourists and locals, the London Walks can take you to any place in the city. You can personalize your route, and can go through it alone or with the assistance of a tour guide. You can inquire at the front desk of your London accommodations for more information about the London walks.

Features

The London Walks can take you past the city’s most famous cultural and historical attractions, including Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London or St. Paul’s Cathedral.

One of the advantages of the London Walks is that you set the pace and the length of the tour. You can choose to take an entire day, half a day, or go all out and arrange for it to extend into the night.

If the thought of walking the whole day seems too exhausting, you can opt to combine the London walks with coach rides. Coach rides will allow you to enjoy the more panoramic sites—such as visits to old neighborhoods, or celebrity homes—in utmost comfort. By the time the coach ride is over, you’ve recovered enough of your energy to resume the rest of your walking tour.

How to arrange a tour

With enough maps (and friendly assistance from the locals you meet along the way) you can actually do the London Walks without the help of a guide. But if you prefer to have someone accompany you (who can also feed you interesting facts or historical backgrounds of the places you see), this can easily be arranged through your travel agency or the hotel customer service. It is best, however, to have a general idea of which sights you want included in your London Walks, so your guide can personalize your route accordingly.
