What to expect
Expect a leisurely two-hour walk punctuated by stops at recognisable landmarks scattered across central London. Your guide will share production details and literary backstories whilst you're free to take photographs and ask questions at your own rhythm—no rushing to keep pace with larger groups. Audiovisual materials help bridge the gap between how locations appeared on-screen and their current state.
