About this tour

Trace London’s history on a two-hour walk from Tower Hill to St Paul’s Cathedral, with landmarks and Thames-side views along the way. Your guide meets you at the sundial outside Tower Hill station, where the Tower of London sets the scene for a journey through centuries of the city’s past.

Walk past the contemporary Bridge Theatre and HMS Belfast, the preserved World War II warship moored on the Thames. See the Golden Hinde, a full-scale replica of Sir Francis Drake’s galleon, then continue to Borough Market, where stalls offer artisan cheeses, breads, street food, and fresh produce. The route also takes in Shakespeare’s Globe, a reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse associated with the playwright, before ending at St Paul’s Cathedral.

With an in-person guide to bring the sights into context, this London historic landmarks walking tour connects maritime stories, theatre, food, and architecture in one compact outing. Meet at Tower Hill and discover the city on foot.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.89 from 27 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 26% in London means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in London by this score.
