You step out into a London morning where the Thames pushes a soft current of commuters and gulls along the embankment, and a host who knows the city like an extended living room waits with a plan tuned to your tastes. Over eight hours you move from the formal lines of Westminster to the narrow lanes of a neighborhood where independent shops, markets and pubs keep the city’s everyday rhythms alive.
