The most popular way to get to know London is through
thematic tours. They guide you through London, focusing on the sights
relevant for the theme of the tour.
Read about the smallest police station in the world, or
explore the filming sets of the James Bond movies. Perhaps you're interested
in traversing and finding out more about Jack The Ripper's slaying grounds
and his victims? The lovers of good ale will be pleased with the enclosed
London's Pub Guide and outdoor lovers on the other hand will have practical
use of London's Parks Guide. And that's only a small part of the interesting
information featured within The Tours Of London!
Here is a full listing and a small description of all
10 round-the-London tours:
Sinister London
This tour shows you the underside of "the most civilised city on
earth". Torture, beheadings, prisons, strangulation and stabbing,
slashed throats and clubbing, poisoning, the world's first serial killer,
gangland shootings, dead men walking, ghosts, poltergeists.. Here are
the descriptions of two locations featured on this tour:
Maritime London
This is maritime London at its most dramatic. The overture are the Tower
and Tower Bridge. Then three miles downstream, the Thames bursts into
one of the sublime sights of English architecture: "the most stately
procession of buildings in England. And another frisson: the mast and
spars and rigging of the Cutty Sark, the hauntingly beautiful old tea
clipper. And much more…
Film Locations
London's haunted the dreams of film-makers and film goers, from the very
beginning. Indeed one of the first movies ever made was a tantalising
brief view of Trafalgar Square! To mention just a few movies that were
shot on locations in London - Clockwork Orange, A Fish Called Wanda, Notting
Hill, Misson Impossible 2… And the list goes on…This tour guides
you through the real filming locations!
The Royal London
The throne of kings. This sceptered town. This London. Monarchs have lived
here for nearly a thousand years. In the Westminster Abbey; where they
were crowned, at the St. James' Palace where they are proclaimed, and
of course in the Buckingham Palace where they are guarded.
London On The Thames
The Thames is, quite simply, London's Grand Canal. To take ship on this
stretch of water is to glissade down the centuries. That is exactly what
this tour is about.
London Parks
Word is that London is the most liveable big city in the world. Why? Well,
perhaps because it is the greenest major city in the World. Magnificent
and huge royal parks are indeed "the lungs of London" and they
make a huge contribution to the liveability of the place.
London Pubs
London houses over 10,000 pubs. This tour, of course shows you only the
best and the most famous ones. It is said that "the history of London
is the history of its taverns; to know one is to know the other".
Cheers to that!
London Markets
With Thames as its umbilical chord London began its life as a trading
town. Buying and selling is London's life blood. Everything about it is
described in this tour - from multimillion cyber transactions to the street
& flea markets.
Secret London
The great litterateur and gourmand G.K. Chesterton put it neatly, "London
is the most difficult city in the world to fathom. Paris is a explanation.
London is a riddle."
