Select your date to see live availability
Walking through the most ancient part of London, you’ll discover the remains of historic churches, gorgeous old pubs, and Tudor architecture.
These quiet streets have witnessed some of the most extraordinary and bloody moments in British history, from the Blitz, the Great Fire, Plague and Executions.
See the memorials to Protestant Martyrs burnt alive by Bloody Mary Tudor; find out how William Wallace met his end, and locate London’s most significant Black Death cemetery.
But its not all blood and guts, as we will pass through the most gorgeous Tudor gateway in the City, explore alleyways barely touched in 400 years and see the church used in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
You’ll be taken within the shell of a church destroyed in the Blitz, and be led into the park which displays the most touching memorial to self sacrifice you could possibly imagine.
The walk lasts 1.5 hours and will leave a lasting impression of a different side to London’s extraordinary history.
Do you have an appetite for the darker side of London’s history? Are you keen to escape the tourist hotspots and discover a lesser known part of our wonderful city? Then this is the tour for you!
On this walk you’ll hear about some of London’s most extraordinary events, wander past ancient churches, old pubs, iconic market places, and through a region which time seems to have forgot…
Our guide will be carrying a Fun London Tours flag.
Please come 10 minutes before the allotted time so that we are ready to go promptly, especially if you have decided to come without booking online. Please note that in London there are regular road closures, engineering works on the tube and other events which can easily delay your journey. Ensure you make allowances for this as we do not wait for latecomers.
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.
