Highlights

A special narrator brings the Middle Ages to life as you discover the legends and stories of old London. Your self-guided journey begins in front of Tower Bridge, where you'll learn the story of Boudica, who led the revolt against the Roman invaders in 60 AD. You will also learn about the beginnings of today's Tower Bridge, which was built in 1894 in typical neo-Gothic Victorian style, preserving elements of the military architecture of medieval London. The tour continues in front of the Tower of London, built in 1078 by William the Conqueror. As you walk through the area and travel back in time with sound effects, your narrator will darken the mood and lead you to the paranormal activities and stories of the tortured souls that besieged the Tower of London. Your epic adventure will continue on St. Dunstand's Hill, where you'll learn about the Great Fire of London.

About London

London mixes royal ceremony, world-class museums and riverside landmarks with distinct neighbourhoods, markets and parks to explore on foot.

The Thames threads the city together. On its banks stand the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge and the long South Bank walk past the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey anchor the older skyline, while glass towers crowd the financial district.
