Walking Tours in partnership with the Official Guides to the City of London

Join the Official Guides to the City of London for a leisurely walk along the Thames and discover what inspired Illuminated River artist Leo Villareal.

The fully trained guides offer a unique insight into the remarkable architecture and heritage of the Thames bridges, focusing on the unique story behind the Illuminated River as the longest public art commission in the world.

Each bridge has a specially designed lighting sequence created by the artist and all together they shine a subtle and beautiful light on London and will do so until 2029.

All Guides are fully trained, accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding and insured, and regularly lead walks in the City and lecture on City related topics. The walks are made as inclusive and accessible as possible and use lifts to access the riverside path. Support dogs are welcome to join.

Walking Tours will return in September 2026. Check back soon for new dates or follow us on social media for the latest updates.
