About this tour
See London’s landmark sights on a private walking tour led by a local guide who brings the city’s stories to life. Starting at Waterloo Station, this London Private Walking Tour is a convenient option for visitors arriving by train from Southampton who want to make the most of a day in the capital.
Walk past Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and more. Around lunchtime, the route passes through Borough Market, where you can browse local traders and purchase food.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
