Private Audio Guided Walking Tour in London

Itinerary

1. Almost every itinerary for touring the English capital starts here, and Nelson's Column is considered the veritable "centre" of London. The square is the intersection of the various wards that comprise the district, and it also historically marks the moment when London became a unique city. In fact, this area was the centre of city life as early as the Middle Ages. Up until the mid-1500s the square was home to the stables at the service of the king's palace in Whitehall, after which it was basically abandoned for three centuries.

2. The bridge where you now stand, known as Tower Bridge, is undoubtedly the most commonly-used bridge that crosses the River Thames. It got its name thanks to its proximity to the Tower of London, the historic royal castle constructed by William the Conqueror in order to control the river port.

3. Piccadilly Circus is the shopping mecca of London! It seems that an English tailor who made a particular embroidered collar called "pickadil" gave the neighbourhood where you now stand its name. It is made up of a long road and a famous roundabout. Theatres, private clubs, refined residences, and elegant shops make this area one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods, although its various names refer to very different historical origins: Haymarket was where fodder was sold for the stables, and Mayfair was where the annual cattle fair was held.

4. Hyde Park is one of the most romantic places in London! Together with the nearby Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park forms a vast green area that is loved by both Londoners and tourists and offers a break from the fast-paced life of a non-stop city. With its 253 acres, it is the largest of the nine royal parks in the capital and is an English-style public garden that is also connected to the memory of Princess Diana.

   Passes by

5. The London Eye is one of the highest points in London! You can already recognize it from a distance: this great ferris wheel offers the best panoramic viewpoint in the heart of the city and has obviously become an unmistakable presence in the London skyline. Just a short walk from the Waterloo metro station, the famous "London Eye" is also known as the "Millenium Wheel" because it was inaugurated by then-Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31st, 1999.

   Passes by

6. Notting Hill is one of the most multi-ethnic parts of London! I'm sure you've seen the movie too, with its cast of fully empathetic actors and perfectly conjured atmosphere: I'm talking about the romantic comedy Notting Hill, directed by Roger Michell in 1998 and starring Julia Roberts practically in the role of herself, as well as Hugh Grant in the role of a shy, good-mannered, and exquisitely "British" small bookshop owner.
