The main sights of London in 4 hours. Fit the city into your pocket.
Whether you just want a quick introduction to London or would like to see the main sights in a short space of time this tour is for you.
In 4 hours we will weave our way from Westminster to The City of London passing through 2000 years of history. I will get you to the best vantage points on time and away from the crowds, places for the best photos, and a tour that will take you to the best sites but from a local view of the city.
I have walked these streets for most of my life. This is a city of millions of stories and memories like mine all woven with an invisible thread that makes London.
It's not all about the sites. London is about its stories, about the characters in this country's history and their footprints we will be following through the streets of the capital. In this half-day tour, I aim to show you why I love this city so much and. Share my passion for history and this small green island I call home.

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourNicolas did a superb tour for our group of four. He has detailed knowledge of the historical elements of London, Kings, Queens, politicians delivered to just the right level. We saw the major sites from Westminster Abbey to the Tower. Clever use of public transport extended the tour's range. Equally clever five minute quick visits to free, small museums were great. Several times during the tour one of our group indicated that, unguided, 'one could visit London a dozen times and never find this'.
