About this tour

Walk through nearly 2,000 years of history on this self-guided London walking tour, from Liverpool Street to London Bridge. Follow the route through the City of London’s Square Mile, where Roman remains, medieval churches, and bold modern towers share the streets. Start near the Kindertransport memorial, then make your way toward the Monument, which commemorates the Great Fire of 1666. Along the way, hear the stories behind Leadenhall Market, the wedge-shaped Cheesegrater, and the nursery rhyme “London Bridge Is Falling Down.” You’ll also discover unexpected details, from the scuba divers who clean Heron Tower’s 70,000-litre fish tank to Crosby Hall, a medieval mansion reassembled in Chelsea. The English-language audio tour works through the VoiceMap app, with offline audio, maps, and geodata so you can explore at your own pace. The route’s total time includes walking and passing the attractions, and you can pause to take in the sights as you go. Begin at Liverpool Street station and let this London self-guided walking tour reveal the layers of the City, one landmark and story at a time.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 37% in London means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in London by this score.
