Nothing added

Join me on a fascinating walking tour of London's hidden gems. I'll show you the remains of the Roman Empire in London, dating back 2,000 years. We'll see the city walls, a secret Roman temple, and a Roman amphitheatre. We'll also visit sites of execution and punishment, historic churches such as Sir Christopher Wren’s St Mary-le-Bow, and even the place where Pocahontas worshipped.

Arrival at Greenwich Ship Tier: Your London Welcome

Step off your ship and straight into a London icon. Your private Black Cab will be waiting at Greenwich Cruise Terminal for a smooth, comfortable transfer into the heart of the capital. You’ll be greeted by your driver, Shane Healy—a qualified Westminster Guide—who will handle your luggage and share expert insights as the city unfolds around you.

Once your bags are securely dropped at your hotel, Shane will introduce you to your expert guide, Lee Cooper, to begin your adventure.

While Lee leads you through London’s historic hidden gems on foot, you enjoy a luxury few travelers experience: Shane and his cab remain on standby throughout your tour. This "mobile base" offers total peace of mind. Whether you need a quick rest between landmarks, want to whisk away to a site further afield, or prefer to avoid uneven pavements, your support team is always a moment away. Follow Lee’s curated route or customise your own—this is London, exactly how you want to see it.

Let's Explore London's Hidden Gems

This is a great tour for people who want to experience London off the beaten path. We'll wander through narrow streets and alleyways, and discover hidden gems that most tourists never see. I'll share stories and legends about the City, and you'll learn about its rich history. I can take you to see surviving stones from the old London Bridge and a section of wooden Roman wharf, believed to date from 75AD.

We will meet at a convenient location near the City and start our tour with a panoramic view from the top of an office building. Then, we will visit some of the City's most interesting and historical pubs, where we will have time to enjoy a drink or two.

We'll also see some of the film locations that were used in making the Harry Potter movies, such as the wonderfully ornate Leadenhall Market, used for filming Diagon Alley in the first Harry Potter Film. We'll also explore some of my favourite sights such as St Bride’s Church, fondly referred to as the ‘Journalists Church’ due to its location in Fleet Street—a hub for national newspapers. Learn about metal coffins, wedding cakes and the Founding Fathers of the United States.

If you fancy a break or a coffee en route we can stop off and I’ll tell you more interesting facts and stories about the hidden gems of London.

After your unforgettable London experience, relax as Shane escorts you directly to your Central London hotel. We'll ensure a comfortable and efficient journey, dropping you right at the entrance, so you can unwind and reflect on your day of exploration without any hassle.
