Hi! My name is George and London has been my adopted city for more than 10 years. I really like to wonder around and found out that there are a lot of lesser known places which are more interesting than Big Ben, Buckingham Palace or Tower of London. Now I want to share it with more people!

Tour description
Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and everything in between is one of the busiest and most popular areas of London. However, most people (especially tourists) don't know even half of the fascinating non-boring history behind it. Also, there are some very subtle but very interesting details that you probably will not notice. So, that's why I'm doing this tour!
- And here are some of the stories that we will talk about:
- Why, at one point in the 70s, did Leicester Square become a literal dump?
- Relationship between the National Gallery and TV licences.
- How a homeless artist became worth £££
- British Martial Art
- Favourite cinema of Quentin Tarantino
- Where was the original Chinatown located?
- Are there hidden Chanel logos?
- The longest-running play in the world
- London's lost tram
I hope to see you soon!
