Lost love, haunting memories, moving reflection and glimmers of joy - London's raw soul lies under her surface. This private tour will take you deep into our city's hidden world. There are secret parks – the lungs of London, ancient alleys and winding stairways, nestled courtyards, a buried amphitheatre, forgotten markets and apparitions.

Walking the city's oldest streets – crossing Roman thoroughfares and Mediaeval marketplaces, your guide will share the stories of some of London's famous characters and legends - from Charles Dickens to the Great Fire of London, from Sweeney Todd to Jack the Ripper.

Discover uncharted passions around every corner as we cross over plague pit burial grounds, touch a 2,000-year-old Roman wall, explore a gorgeous tea shop, a dried-up river, beautiful hidden churches and an undiscovered city waiting to reveal its epic and haunting past. Come and experience a London few know exist and take a journey with us into what lies beneath.
