About this tour

Explore Pimlico’s history on a self-guided London walking tour that reveals where artists, scientists, and secret agents lived and worked. Along the route, discover a luxury estate that has housed civil servants, intelligence agency personnel, and politicians, including Harold Wilson and David Steel. Producer Steve Matthews shares stories shaped by his passion for London history and his experience leading tours since 2010.

The walk takes about 45 minutes, though you can linger at stops and choose when to begin and finish. After booking, install the VoiceMap app and enter the unique code on your confirmation ticket. The app guides you to the starting point, then uses GPS playback and turn-by-turn directions to lead the way. Audio, maps, and geodata are available offline, and you can also use the virtual tour option at home. Your access is unlimited before and after your booking date.

Set your own pace and uncover a quieter side of the city with this London self-guided walking tour. Download the app, put on your headphones, and follow Pimlico’s stories wherever they take you.

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.
