Our adventure begins at the majestic Elizabeth Tower, famously known as Big Ben.

Learn about the legendary figures who have shaped the course of British history, from Richard the Lionheart to Oliver Cromwell to Winston Churchill.

Next, we'll visit the historic Methodist Central Hall, a building steeped in significance. It served as both a spiritual sanctuary and a pivotal meeting place for the post-war United Nations. Nearby, St. Margaret's Church stands as a testament to democracy, adorned with statues of world leaders like Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.

Our journey continues to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister since 1735. We'll stroll along Whitehall, a street brimming with government buildings and statues, each with its own fascinating tale. Whitehall is a street which shaped our nation of Great Britain. We shall also take in the world famous Horse Guards who are our monarchy’s last line of defence.

As we venture into the heart of London, we will discover Trafalgar Square, dominated by Nelson's Column and the renowned National Gallery. From here, we can escape the hustle and bustle and immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of St. James's Park, a royal park that has captivated visitors for centuries.

With guests on bright sunny day.

Presentations continue outside Buckingham Palace and we shall get close and personal to the Queen Victoria Memorial. The 500-year-old St. James’s Palace, once home to King Henry VIII, continues to enchant with its grandeur and rich history. We can then explore the elegant neighbourhood of St. James's, often referred to as "Gentleman's London." Here, we'll encounter world-class shops, including a renowned wine merchant, a prestigious cigar shop, and the most famous hat shop in the world. We shall also find the former homes of Winston Churchill and the Spencer family, ancestors of Princess Diana.

Our customers say...
"My wife Angela and I had a very enjoyable and informative London Rock Tour last Wednesday, 11th September. with Rob as our Tour Guide. I used to work in Piccadilly during the 60s, so many of the locations Rob introduced us to were familiar (though sadly nothing like as brilliant as they were back then!). Carnaby Street is now pretty soulless (I spent many lunch hours walking about its environs, so I know what a colourful and "buzzing" place it was), as was Denmark Street (now a shadow of its "Tin Pan Alley" days). However, the Tour brought back many happy memories. However, the main reason we enjoyed ourselves so much was Rob's excellence as a Tour Guide. He was enthusiastic, informative and very personable. And his audio-visual aids were excellent. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has an interest in those wonderful 1960s musical times. The whole experience was brilliant! "

"Rob, thanks for leading such an epic James Bond London Walking Tour! We all had a blast reliving our favourite scenes at iconic filming locations like the MI6 headquarters and Downing Street. Your witty 007 puns and insider trivia kept us laughing and learning throughout the tour. The quiz question had us all racking our brains, and you truly made it a memorable day. I’ll certainly recommend you to my friends."
