About this tour

On this tour we will introduce you to some of the more interesting, unusual and often divisive statues and monuments in London, bringing figures back into the light who have been languishing in the murky depths of history.

From dedications of love to demonstrations of power, monuments to absurdity to symbols of vanity we will leave no statue uncovered on this journey back in time.

Can I book a private tour?

Sure! Our guides tend to be booked quite far in advance – especially during peak times – but please email info@funlondontours.com with your request. We tend to have more availability on shorter private tours of 1.5 – 2 hours in length. As of January 2023, prices start at £250.

Are your tours suitable for people with limited mobility or wheelchair users?

Our tours can be adapted to suit wheelchair users or those with limited mobility – just let us know ahead of time so the guide can prepare a suitable alternative step-free route.

The only exception is our Changing the Guard tour, which requires good mobility as we march alongside the guards and we cannot avoid steps.
