Wapping and the Old London Docks: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

This self-guided GPS audio tour covers the most famous building in Wapping is a pub, The Prospect of Whitby, which was a favourite with pirates and smugglers as well as with Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys. This ancient village which stretches between the Tower of London and Limehouse has always been associated with seafarers. They tended to live a life apart from the rest of London, although in the eighteenth century the 36 pubs along the riverfront attracted many visitors including Dr Samuel Johnson. Three of these pubs survive. The London Docks were built in the early nineteenth century and were famous for the import of rum, wine and tobacco. The docks were closed in 1969, but many of the former wharves and warehouses have been preserved and converted into modern apartments. This retains the atmosphere of the past although the sense of danger evoked by Charles Dickens's novels has vanished.

Small Group Historical Pub Tour, Beer Included

This experience is great for folk that want a truly authentic British experience of ‘going down the pub’ All of the pubs we’ll visit have historical significance although that’s not why I’ve chosen them. I’ve chosen them based on one simple thing, they’re all great pubs! London has over 3000 pubs to choose from and it can be daunting trying to find the good ones but I’ve done the research (hard work I know!) and chosen a few of my favourites. We’ll visit an original gin palace, London's hardest to find pub and a few others! Being Scottish we have to stop at the William Wallace memorial close to the first pub. Discover if Scotlands most famous freedom fighter did really shout 'Freeeeedom!' (spoiler alert, he didn't!). To save you the hassle of getting served at the bar I will get the beers in! A half pint of beer in each pub is included in the price of the experience. We will try various different beers including the ever popular British cask or ‘real ale’ beer.

There is no time to rest in London; you must stroll through Trafalgar Square, take a tour of the lace vaults in Westminster Abbey, and find No. 10 Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister. Visit Buckingham Palace and see the city from the London Eye.

Get in the spirit of the city

For a taste of the city's business side, head to the City of London, home to the financial center, Tower 42, The Gherkin and other towering buildings. Don't forget to take a break for a traditional five o'clock tea and milk.

Where to relax

Take a break in Hyde Park - you can hire a bike, lounge on the grass or feed the hand squirrels. If you're traveling with kids, take them to King's Cross Station, Platform 9 ¾ of the magical world of Harry Potter.

Non-Tourist London.

Want to feel like a local? Instead of a restaurant lunch, head to Borough Market for great curries, paella and English wine. For a break from sightseeing, stroll along Regent's Canal, known as Little Venice.

Music and Markets

Listen to quality live music from jazz to hard rock in Camden. For shopping and souvenirs, do what Londoners do: hit the street markets. Vintage goods are sold at Camden Market, while rare antiques are sold at Portobello Market.

And four other things to do in London:

take a ride on a red double-decker bus;
watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace;
stand at the zero meridian in Greenwich;
stroll along the south bank of the Thames.
