Fun London Tours is a London-based tour operator offering guided walking tours and small-group experiences across the city. The operator specializes in themed walks that reveal hidden corners, untold stories and historical sites often missed by conventional sightseeing. Tours range from dark history walks through Whitechapel and Jack the Ripper locations to lighter, unusual subjects such as the London Loo Tour, as well as visits to major attractions like Buckingham Palace and the Churchill War Rooms.
Many itineraries are framed as semi-private or small-group experiences; the Buckingham Palace Entrance Ticket & Changing the Guard tour explicitly limits the palace visit to just eight guests for a more intimate tour. Specific tours include Secret London, Hidden London, Secret Old London, the Jack the Ripper & The Five Women of Whitechapel Walking Tour, multiple Changing the Guard options, and WWII-focused visits to Churchill’s War Rooms. Each tour highlights factual history, local architecture, and photographic opportunities while moving on foot through central London neighborhoods.
Fun London Tours is featured on The Adventure Collective and presents factual, site-based storytelling that emphasizes places, documented events and preserved locations. Tour content focuses on verifiable historical topics such as the Blitz-era War Rooms, the Changing the Guard ceremonies, and documented Whitechapel cases. The operator markets public walking routes and curated entrance-ticket experiences that appeal to visitors seeking both iconic landmarks and overlooked historical layers of London.
