Points forts
If you like humorous history, quirky facts and hidden surprises, this self-guided walk right in the centre of London is for you. Having lived in London all my life, I decided to uncover its wacky history. I'm also an avid traveller and understand the importance of experiencing a city with a local guide. But more importantly, I love sharing this city's amazing history! On this tour, you’ll learn about the secret behind the flow of the River Thames, the origins of the name “Covent Garden”, and the story of a drink most wouldn't associate with Britain. You'll also discover how the Americans stole coffee from the British, see the only street in London that confuses taxi drivers and learn about London's most notorious 18th-century brothel and the now-extinct police force that shut it down. Whether you’re visiting London for the first time or are a local curious about the city's alternative tales, this tour is a valuable introduction to the city's alternative history.

About Londres
Londres réunit cérémonial royal, musées de rang mondial et monuments au bord de l'eau, avec des quartiers, des marchés et des parcs à explorer à pied.
La Tamise relie la ville d'un bout à l'autre. Sur ses rives se dressent le Parlement et Big Ben, la Tour de Londres et ses joyaux de la Couronne, Tower Bridge et la longue promenade de la South Bank, qui passe devant le London Eye, le Globe de Shakespeare et la Tate Modern. La cathédrale Saint-Paul et l'abbaye de Westminster ancrent la silhouette ancienne de la ville, tandis que les tours de verre se pressent dans le quartier financier.
Top-ranked sights in Londres: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
