Fun London Tours

On this extraordinary walking tour we reveal the most amazing conspiracies which have gripped the nation, from tales of royal murder to divine intervention, invisible evil and world wide cover ups.

As we journey from palace to amphitheatre via the old alleyways and institutions of yore we will look to discover evidence of the greatest cover ups, the most outrageous accusations and their quite deadly consequences.

Who was the bogeyman haunting the nightmares of children? What occult symbology is used throughout the Square Mile? Which church lies at the centre of a pyschogeographic highway? And who really started the Great Fire of London?

Not a stone will be left unturned as we dowse for ley lines and blood sacrifice, and scour the streets for evidence of paganism, murder and secret history.

Highlights

• Discover the gates of Ghastly Grim
• Find a whole range of occult symbolism
• Stand on one of London’s bloodiest execution grounds
• Feel the brooding power of ‘the Devil’s architect’
• Discover the enigmatic London Stone

Due to the incredible popularity of our changing the guard tour, we have added a second guard change tour where you will see even more!

On this tour we have the best of two worlds as we will observe some of the highlights from two ceremonies rather than one.

First up, witness the grandeur of the Change of the Lifeguard, a ceremony which dates back over 360 years. We will explain the history and meaning behind this ceremony, where the Household Cavalry face off across a spectacular parade ground. If you love horses, this is perfect!

Then we make a beeline for St James Palace to observe the end of the second change of the guard ceremony, where you will see the world famous guards with bearskin hats and red or grey tunics.

Finally, its off to Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the monarchy, to hear tales of its history, earlier royals and leave with a series of photos which will be the envy of all your friends back at home.

This is a slower paced walk than our other changing the guard tour. No marching alongside the guards, but plenty of history, photo opportunities, and more guards than you could hope for!

The Liar Liar Tour is an interactive, entertaining and refreshingly different tour!

Find the statues which divide opinion, unite the people or have been consigned the wastelands of history...

During our Darkest Hour one man carried a nation's weight of expectation on his shoulders. As London was mercilessly bombed by the Nazis, Winston Churchill plotted our victory from the operations room in Westminster.

Hear about London during the Blitz, the courage of ordinary people in the face of terror, and see the city through the eyes of our iconic Prime Minister.

With this experience you will discover the hidden and forgotten parts of London!

During the tour we will encourage you to pay special heed to the parts of London we usually rush past. Among the highlights will be a search for one of Soho’s infamous Noses, then we will show you a long forgotten horse block specifically made for a former prime minister. From here we then delve into a darker time and look for the grave belonging to a rather infamous ‘nazi’ dog...

From here we’ll show you the former Titanic ticket office and we’ll chat about some of the conspiracy theories surrounding this infamous journey.

At some point we will search for the remains of an imperial past hidden in plain sight before heading off to look for signs of our long lost past, including a place where police officers hung their coats in the 19th century and a buried marker for a street which no longer exists.

Then its into Soho. We’ll feel some of the flavour and excitement as we wander down a couple of streets on our way to Soho Square where a king and a rather ancient looking building awaits, as well as a heavily disguised WW2 bomb shelter...

Brace yourself for a visit to two sites associated with the occult, and discover what kind of 17th century establishment drove women onto the streets in mass protest. You'll journey back in time seeing fragments of medieval and roman London tucked away out of sight, and finish the tour at the most haunting memorial to the power of the Blitz.

On this tour your guide will point out amazing details on walls, above buildings, and beside ancient churches which will unlock the explorer in you as we wander through alleyways lost to time.

All will be revealed on this amazing tour…

On this sleazy and spirited tour, you'll hear of the bizarre and debauched antics of our ancestors, notorious criminals and their executions, Covent Garden's pimp master general and the London Beer Flood! (Yes, it really did happen…)

Walking in the wake of drunkards, villains and sinful nobility, you’ll hear their tales of grime and the brutal punishments meted out to them.

Stepping through the heart of the West End, passing theatres, street performers and gorgeous architecture, this tour will leave you happy to be alive in twenty-first century London, but secretly wishing you were here a few hundred years before.

Please Note: Although we may mention one or two spirits, this is not a ghost tour!

Rather than standing still for hours, we see various stages of the ceremony, including the inspection, Old Guard, New Guard, Palaces, and even march alongside the Guards and Ceremonial Bands! Our tour guides have the experience, knowledge and humour to make sure you leave with an enviable set of pictures, an insight into what is going on, an anecdote or two, and most importantly, a memory which will last forever. We are endorsed by www.changing-guard.com and so have the backing of the most knowledgeable people out there.

Sadly, a great number of people go to see this world famous ceremony and leave disappointed. They stand at the gates of Buckingham Palace and wait uncomfortably for the action to happen, but are unaware that they have missed the majority of the pomp, ceremony, music and marching that takes place elsewhere. And that is why a Fun London Guide is invaluable in getting you around. If you like a fast paced tour, with plenty of action, excitement and fun, come on this walk. In order to stay ahead of the crowds we do have to move quickly at times - at one point we will even be marching alongside the band! We will also encounter at least one flight of steps so unfortunately it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties. Please have a look at our Essential London or Royal tours which run through the spring and summer if you think this may apply to you.

Standing by some of the most foreboding locations in the city, we'll tell you about the gruesome executions which took place here, and the partying and revelry which accompanied them!

You'll be taken within the shell of a church destroyed in the Blitz, and be led into the park which displays one of the most touching memorials to self sacrifice you could possibly imagine.

But in order to do this, we will need to explore the forgotten alleyways and medieval courtyards, look up, around & under, and peer through windows & bars.

The walk will take you into the labyrinth of tiny lanes around Fleet Street and Temple, past ancient cloisters and churches, over forgotten rivers and wells led by your guide who will share his explorer’s eye. As the local resident Samuel Johnson once said “"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." And this is the walk to keep that torch for London burning bright!

For those of you who want to dig deeper than the average tourist, and be rewarded with a photo and story that will be the envy of your friends back home, then the Secret London Tour is for you.

We will visit secret alleyways, ancient pubs, hear of body snatchers and murders, and reveal the unexpected and unseen. This is one memorable journey! We are privileged to live in a city with 2000 years of history. Some of the most influential people in the world have walked these streets and many have left a distinct footprint. On the Secret London Tour we will show you a side of London away from the usual tourist trail – we’ll take you along gas lit alleyways, past old pubs and bookshops, remnants of sprawling mansions, unusual art and secret societies.

So if you want to see another side to London, and enjoy exploring a city a few layers deeper than the average tourist, then come on The Secret London Tour!
