Walking in London
London is really a collection of villages that grew into each other, which is why a walk here changes character every few streets: royal Westminster, the narrow lanes of the City, Georgian squares, the markets and street art of the East End. Free tours tend to pick one thread, such as royal history, the Victorian underworld or modern London's creative side, and follow it on foot for a couple of hours.
Good to know: The weather changes quickly in any month, so a light rain jacket earns its place in your bag.
