Overview

This special walking tour takes us in the footsteps of John Wesley. Well away from the usual crowds and tourist hotspots in London, we will walk through some of the most historic parts of Roman, Medieval, Georgian and Victorian London.

Along the way we will visit the home of John Wesley and the adjoining chapel as well as visiting other historic sites on a 3 hour tour including locations where Wesley would preach in the open air, where he went to school and the spot of his conversion at the home of John Bray.

The tour also visits a number of beautiful old churches, parks and ruins as well as other places of religious significance.

You don’t have to be a Methodist to appreciate this tour, anyone who wants to get away from the busy sights for a few hours and follow in the footsteps of one of the most renowned figures in history will no doubt enjoy the Methodist Tour of London a great deal.

Reviews

Wonderful walk around London sites we would never have found on our own!

Samantha_B, 09-01-2022

We absolutely loved our tour! Despite Covid closures, our wonderful guide gave a tour we will always remember. Stephen was punctual, friendly and never made us feel like we were on a tour, more that he was a friend showing us interesting things he had discovered. We learned so many interesting facts about parts of London we would never have found or understood on our own, as well as showing us so many sites about John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. We saw Roman and Medieval ruins into the bargain!
We highly recommend and will be seeking out Stephen for our next trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk and tour!

Informative Tour

Kevin met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the tube system for the first time! He is a wealth of information and knew the best shortcuts to find significant Wesley sites. We took in a few “on the way” attractions including the Roman Wall and a rooftop view of London near St Paul’s. None of our questions were treated as inappropriate and were answered with a smile. The site’s were important but Kevin made the tour special. We highly recommend this company and Kevin for tour’s!
