Overview

This private walking tour takes us to many hidden, silent, sacred and secret gardens and ruins in the City of London. Even Londoners don't know about most of these sites and that is why they are such wonderful and historic places. Beautiful old gothic church yard gardens, each a peaceful, historic oasis in busy London.

This is a fantastic way to start a trip in London. You will learn about things you didn’t know you were interested in

Who knew London was so green

Fabulous experience. Saw so much of London I never knew existed. Stephen has so much knowledge. So many pretty oases hidden down side streets . Can't wait to do another one

A magical experience

The Sacred Gardens tour is my 2nd tour with the amazingly knowledgeable Stephen. I shared the tour with my sister and 2 friends. We all loved it and saw things that we would never have seen if we had explored alone. We also learnt facts we had no idea we didn't know. Even where the term Bluetooth comes from and other similar wonders stored in Stephen's filing cabinet of a brain.
We are already wondering which tour to choose next.
Happy to suggest to you to put those walking shoes on and explore with Stephen. Worth every single penny.

A brilliant tour with a great guide

This was an absolutely fascinating tour ! Stephen is highly knowledgeable, and shares the information and stories in a really friendly and enthusiastic way. He knows his stuff, and you can tell he has a real affection for the places he takes you to.

I thought I knew London well, but Stephen took us to gardens I didn't know existed - fascinating ! With a great mix of things I'd heard before and things that were new to me, the things I already knew acted as a kind of "fact check" that gave me confidence that the new tales were accurate.

The tour took about three hours, so wear sensible shoes, but it's all done at a pace which allows you to really enjoy the experience and take in the places you see.

Definitely a worthwhile thing to include in a trip to London !

Do.Not.Miss.

The knowledge .. the enthusiasm .. you will be unknowingly drawn into the Viking, the Roman, the Tudor era. And the weird thing is .. you will be surrounded by the 21st century. Any age .. just go and experience. Public Houses on every corner, with their own tale. Enjoy. You are in the best hands !
