From Market to Market: Discover London’s Hidden Stories

From Market to Market: Discover London’s Hidden Stories

London isn’t just about Big Ben and Buckingham Palace - it’s also a city of secret corners, curious traditions, and markets that have shaped its history. On this walking tour we’ll journey from market to market, beginning in the lively Covent Garden, once home to flower sellers, street performers, and some scandalous goings-on. From there, we’ll wander through Somerset House’s grand courtyards before crossing the Thames over Waterloo Bridge, with one of the best views in the city.

But this isn’t a typical tourist trail. Along the way we’ll dive into the hidden side of London: explore the ever-changing street art of the Graffiti Tunnel, hear stories of quirky characters who walked these streets before us, and uncover layers of history that most visitors miss. Our walk winds through Southwark, a neighbourhood once known for its playhouses, pubs, and less respectable entertainments, before finishing at the world-famous Borough Market - where centuries of trade, food, and culture all come together.

What makes this tour special is the attention to detail: from old postboxes and carved street signs to curious architectural clues, you’ll learn how to read London like a living history book - and start spotting secrets hidden in plain sight.
