City Unscripted - Westminister to Covent Garden Private Walking Tour of London

You'll follow your host on a journey through London's royal past as you explore the age-old route from Westminster to Covent Garden.

Discover London’s sights on a tour that takes you off the tourist path, with a local host who’s as excited to show you the best of the city as you are to see it!

It’s up to you how you use the four hours of your tour – This iconic district, which has deeply entrenched political and royal roots, is steeped in history dating back centuries. Get to know some of the political history of Westminster, if you’re that way inclined, and soak up the beautiful surroundings of its pristine royal parks, treasured statues, memorials, and galleries. If your vibe is more on the regal side of things, a stroll through St James’s Park, past Buckingham Palace to the luxury food store where the royal household is known to have their shopping done should do the trick. Take in the architecture of the UK Parliament, and Westminster Abbey, which has seen its fair share of royal weddings over the years. And if you are feeling thirsty your host can show you to a pub renowned for its political and parliamentary regulars, or you could indulge in an afternoon tea at the opulent food emporium we mentioned earlier. Scones, anyone? 

When you book, you will be emailed an e-voucher. You must email City Unscripted at least 48 hours in advance of your preferred date to book your tour. Contact details will be on your e-voucher. City Unscripted will then email you to create your tailored tour.

Our supplier has a highly specialised team who work hard to ensure you’re carefully matched with the perfect Host for you based on your personality, interests and requirements. After booking you will receive a short questionnaire which will enable them to do this.
