Discover the lovely tranquillity of the elegant streets and squares of highbrow Bloomsbury.

Stop outside the British Museum for a photo opportunity and walk past the Beatles old house.

Wander on to Soho, full of boutique shops, trendy bars, and delicious restaurants.

Visit Leicester Square and Covent Garden – theatreland and the beating heart of London’s West End, home to the iconic covered market, street entertainment, and the National Opera House.

Stroll down quaint cobbled streets, passing the famous theatres, and market stalls to the Strand.

Stop by the magnificent Somerset House, exclusive Savoy Hotel, and Charing Cross station for photos and interesting stories.

Visit the mighty Trafalgar Square with Nelson’s Column, and learn about Captain Horatio Nelson and the famous battle for which it is named.

Step into the beautiful Georgian church of St Martin in the Fields.

End with a privately guided tour of the stunning National Gallery, famous for its diverse collection of masterpieces from the Renaissance to the Impressionists.

The West End is one of the most exciting and vibrant parts of London – a seamless blend of historic and contemporary culture, filled with theatres, museums, restaurants, boutique shopping, markets, food stalls and fabulous street entertainers. Your walking tour begins in Bloomsbury and takes you through Soho, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, the Strand, and finally Trafalgar Square, which is dedicated to Britain’s famous victory over the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.

Having walked the streets of Bloomsbury and Soho, it’s time for a fully guided private tour of the National Gallery. Situated at the top of Trafalgar Square, looking majestically down Whitehall towards the Houses of Parliament, you’ll enjoy a timed entry and tour of this historic, beautiful building filled with some world-famous Renaissance and Impressionist masters such as Botticelli, Da Vinci, Rubens, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Turner, Monet and Van Gogh, and of course, no trip to the National Gallery is complete without stopping in front of the breathtaking painting of the horse, Whistlejacket by Stubbs.
