Description
This 1.5-hour walking tour starts at Trafalgar Square and suits visitors interested in London's hidden history and literary connections.
Your guide will lead you through back streets and alleyways to explore places overlooked by most. Early in the tour, you visit the tiny old police station once considered the smallest in the world, with historical significance often unnoticed by passersby.
Next, walk streets linked to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter before stopping at a discreet social club rooted in 18th-century London eccentricity. The atmosphere shifts as you step into a Dickens-era setting, spotting old gas lamps, signs, and door knockers beside pubs tucked away from main roads.
The tour concludes with stories of superstition, a royal ceremony, and a search for one of London’s mysterious artworks – the Duke of Wellington’s nose.
