Think you know central London? Think again. This three-hour walk through the heart of the West End goes far deeper than the standard tourist route — into the hidden history, forgotten stories, and living culture of Soho, Seven Dials, and Covent Garden.
Your guide Aaron has lived in London since 2011 and works as a professional actor. Guests consistently say his storytelling and performance background make the experience unlike any other tour in the city.
Along the way you'll encounter Henry VIII and the surprising origins of the name "Soho"; the Palladium's extraordinary past; the story behind Liberty; Carnaby Street from its 60s fashion revolution to today; how one water pump on Broad Street changed the history of medicine; the street where Karl Marx lived, Bowie recorded, and Ronnie Scott built a jazz legend; windows bricked up to dodge a royal tax; Soho's LGBT history and its role in the fight for gay rights; the journey from British Empire to Britain's favourite dish; and much more.
You'll finish at Covent Garden, with Aaron's recommendations for where to eat, drink, and explore on your own.
Small groups only. This is a personal tour, not a crowd.
