Essential London Walking Tour with River Thames Cruise

Starting with an unforgetable boat ride down the Thames from London Bridge, this tour really allows us to focus on both the breathtaking architecture and fascinating history of Westminster.

From the hustle surrounding The Houses of Parliament to the peace and tranquility of the Smith Square Conservation Area, allow your guide to tell you a story that has not only changed our City, but the World. You will be told of some of the most important and colourful characters from our History, for William The Conquerer to Winston Churchill.
