LONDON'S SECRETS - As the title says this is a family fun tour of seeing the Sights and Secrets of London and you will not be disappointed. During your tour you will visit buildings that are over 300 years old and we will take you inside so you can see the wonders of these historic places. Why not visit a pub that sells corpses, see a house with false windows, a Roman Bath, a 500 year old Banqueting Hall., Winston Churchill's cigar chair. Have a photograph standing under a 200 year old original gas lamp, visit a Dead house. Did we mention secret Alleyways. Roman Landmarks, an Execution Dock. Then there are the alleyways and courtyards that time has forgotten. Stand in the smallest square in London. See the entrance to secret passages and of course visit prison cells 900 years old. Actually walk on a Roman pavement. This list of places to see is endless. We would tell you more, but it's a secret! There is the option on the tour to visit inside certain landmarks and some do have a small entry fee.
We also said that you will see Hidden Treasures and unusual places not seen by many tourists! See and hear about many of London's Hidden Treasures, these are the places that tourists never get to see. We shall wander alleyways and hear the tales of murder and mystery. See the smallest house in London, the smallest square in town, wander by the site of Henry VIII's cow shed and tennis court. We have 300 year old shops to enter and once you know their history you may wish to purchase some of their stock. There are Hidden Tunnels, the oldest Church in London, Victorian Book shops, Visit a shop where you can see a river running under it. Did we mention secret alleyways. Visit a church that sold corpses and a dead body that still sits around a table at meetings.
