What to expect
Expect a steady walk of three hours through pedestrianised streets and quieter routes behind London's best-known theatres. You'll stop regularly to examine architectural details, lesser-known sculptures, and street-level views most visitors miss. Mike shares the neighbourhoods' layered history and points out literary ties whilst demonstrating how to approach familiar scenes from fresh angles. Bring a camera capable of manual settings; smartphones work too. The pace suits moderate fitness levels, with frequent pauses for composition and instruction.
