What to expect
Expect roughly 3–4 hours on your feet covering central London's most visited quarters. Your guide will meet you at your hotel or the tour's starting point and lead you between landmarks, pausing to explain what you're seeing rather than racing through a checklist. Streets vary from grand Victorian boulevards to tight alleyways; some spots draw tourists, particularly around Piccadilly and the Palace, though a later start (around 10.30–11am) keeps the worst of the crowds at bay. The pace is moderate and you set the rhythm. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
Good to know
