This tour will be run by Unseen Tours, who were born in 2010, and supports vulnerable housed individuals to develop, curate, and lead guided walks to different neighbourhoods of London.
Unseen Tours empowers its guides by providing them with a platform to share their stories, offering paid work, confidence, and opportunities for growth. As a social enterprise, the majority of ticket revenue goes to the guides, with any profit reinvested to support more guides and expand the initiative.
David, a lifelong Londoner, will guide you on a fascinating walk along the south side of the Thames, uncovering mystery and history. You’ll explore the Bankside and venture into Borough’s hidden alleys, visiting a renowned food market, a gothic cathedral, an infamous prison, and a secret archaeological dig. Along the way, David will share stories of inequality, crime, and ghosts, finishing the tour at one of London’s oldest pubs.
The meeting point is outside London Bridge Station, by the Shipwrights Arms (88 Tooley Street, SE1 2UN). You can’t miss the pub, it’s painted bright blue!
To ensure you have the best experience on your tour (especially with the weather in London being so unpredictable), we encourage you to wrap up warmly, bring extra layers of clothing, and wear comfortable footwear.
