London Guided Walks runs a wide range of themed guided walks across central London. The company offers historical, literary, social-history and speciality routes that highlight landmarks, hidden alleys and local stories. Tours include focused experiences such as a Knights Templar Treasure Hunt, Women and Medicine in Euston and Fitzrovia, Roman London, Victorian Covent Garden and a Hampstead Village walk. Many walks are presented as 90-minute guided tours; others, like the Knights Templar Treasure Hunt, run for two hours.
Guides present facts, archival insights and on-site storytelling, connecting sites such as Whitehall, Blackfriars, Fleet Street and the River Thames with broader city history. Several tours emphasise social history and reform, for example in the Footsteps of Jack London, Samuel Pepys’s London and Tale of Two Slums in St Giles. Other routes explore cultural life and entertainment, including Soho, Covent Garden, music-hall history and film locations.
London Guided Walks is featured on The Adventure Collective and lists more than thirty distinct walks covering topics from suffragettes and women in the city to horror literature, Christmas traditions and Doctor Who locations.

Prospective guests can select from a broad seasonal schedule and themed options to match curiosity, time and group size. Bookings are available online and schedules often change seasonally.
