About this tour
A six-hour private walking tour pairing royal and medieval London in a single day.

Your guide leads you through both eras without the crowds. St. Paul's entry and a traditional pub lunch are included. Departs daily at 10 a.m. from St. Martin in the Fields Church.

What to expect
Expect a brisk, knowledge-led walk covering roughly four miles across central London. The morning leg focuses on Westminster's ceremonial heart—palaces, government buildings, and royal rituals. After lunch at an authentic local pub, you'll shift into the City's narrow lanes and historic squares, exploring medieval foundations, Georgian architecture, and sites tied to the Great Fire of 1666. Your guide will pick out details most visitors miss. The day suits those comfortable with sustained walking; pace is steady rather than leisurely. You'll stand for lengthy periods inside St. Paul's and move between busy streets and quieter courtyards.
Good to know
Wear comfortable, broken-in shoes and dress for London weather. The tour covers considerable ground, so moderate fitness is essential. Not suitable for those with serious back or heart conditions. Pushchairs welcome for infants; infant car seats are available. Public transport hubs are nearby if you need to exit early.
