A
London weekend Walks
Westminster Abbey
11:00 am Westminster Underground
This walk is the best choice for the first-time visitor. We'll show you where kings and queens were crowned (加冕), where they lived and where they are buried. You will see where politicians have shaped the course of history over the years. This walk finishes at the House of Parliament, which you can visit afterwards at a good discount.
Canals and Cafes
11:00 am Camden Town Underground
Camden Town, with its canals, cafes and studios, is the home of many artists, musicians and writers. The high point of the walk is a visit to Camden Lock, London's most exciting street market. You may like to take a canal trip to London Zoo after this walk.
Historic Greenwich
2:00 pm Tower Hill Underground
The walk begins with the best boat ride in London, five kilometers down the river from Tower Bridge to the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. From there you'll walk through Greenwich Park past the Naval Museum and other historic buildings to the village itself. We'll take you down narrow streets with busy shops and markets, back to the riverside where this walk ends.
Unexpected London
3:00pm Tower Hill Underground
This walk begins with a ride on Europe's most modern city railway giving you fine views across the Thames and riversides area. We will get on and off the train for mini-walks to discover the hidden corners of the former port of London.
To go on one of our walks, simply meet your guide in the street outside the underground stations. All these walks last about two hours and end near underground stations. A walk costs £4.50 (£3.50 for the elderly). Children under 12 can go for free but they must be with an adult.
