Walking tour in London
The Wonders of London Free Walking Tour focuses on storytelling, covering both famous landmarks and lesser-known London history. Tours run daily in English and Italian. The company offers multiple themed routes. Budget travelers book the main city tour and discover that London’s free layer is far deeper than they expected.
Practical
The route
Each stop is free to stand in front of, whatever the tour costs.
The British Museum in Bloomsbury is one of the greatest museums in the world, and entry to the permanent collection is completely free. The Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon (Elgin) Marbles, the Egyptian mummies, and the Enlightenment Gallery are all here.
Tower Bridge is the Victorian bascule bridge over the Thames next to the Tower of London, one of the most photographed structures in London and often mistaken by visitors for London Bridge upstream. Two Gothic-style towers carry a pair of high-level walkways, and the lower roadway still splits and lifts to let tall ships through.
The South Bank is the riverside walk along the south side of the Thames from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge. It is free, and it is the single best free thing to do in central London.
Everything else London costs.
