Description
Step into the glamorous and scandalous world of old London on our Covent Garden guided tour and learn the history of the rich, the royal family and the city’s most powerful people.
Hear about the British ballet dancer organising a coup behind closed doors, the nefarious coffee house owned by London's most feared female gangster and the deadly outcome of an argument between actors about their wigs.
Gossip with us about the affairs of the aristocracy and the monarch’s mistresses before escaping the hoi polloi at London’s oldest restaurant, Rules. Immerse yourself in high society and hear about the scandalous secrets held inside the restaurant’s walls.
Our walking tour is the most unique sightseeing experience in London, bringing you a combination of royal history, upper-class cover ups, and Covent Garden’s rich past.
