Tour description

The journey comes to life at the corner of Trafalgar Square, where you will be given a brief preview of what awaits you, but, being a secret tour, much will remain shrouded in mystery. 

 

For two hours, you will be guided through labyrinths of forgotten alleys, in an odyssey to discover hidden corners and secrets concealed by time. 

 

At the beginning, you will cross the threshold of a small and ancient police station, a place that Londoners pass by every day without ever perceiving the weight of its history. 

Then, the path will wind through the enchanted streets of Harry Potter, the magical universe of J.K. Rowling. Along the way, you will encounter a discreet social club, guardian of traditions born in an eclectic and extravagant 18th-century London. 

 

The next stop will envelop you in a timeless atmosphere: it will feel like walking alongside Dickens himself, among flickering gas lamps, ancient signs, and forgotten door knockers, hidden next to concealed pubs, havens of distant memories. 

 

And if the magic has not yet captivated you, you will be immersed in one of London's most mysterious legends: an endless ceremony dedicated to a king. 

Finally, the quest will culminate with the discovery of one of the city's most enigmatic treasures — the nose of the Duke of Wellington, a small detail of art wrapped in myth and history. 


This and much more will be shown to you during the tour, an experience that will gradually unveil the most fascinating secrets of London.
