Discover where some of your favourite movies were filmed on a guided walking tour of London.

Your expert guide will lead you to each location, showing you clips from films like Mission Impossible, Bridget Jones Diary, Fast and Furious, Harry Potter, Marvel movies, James Bond and Disney. Hear about the history of film and where the British film industry started. This tour will take you across London, showing you some of its iconic locations like Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, and Millennium Bridge. Discover some of its lesser-seen gems like Cecil Court, Scotland Yard, and the Anchor pub. The tour then ends at one of London's longest-running food markets, Borough Market, home to great food and drink.

A few things to note. We will be using the London Underground on the tour so every person (over 11yo) will need an Oyster card or contactless payment method with at least £2.40. Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult. The tour contains about 90 minutes of brisk walking
