A London bike tour and hire company running guided cycle and e-bike tours of the capital's sights, plus hire of bikes from tandems to children's bikes.
A long-running London walking tour company offering guided walks every day, from Jack the Ripper and Beatles routes to village London and pub walks.
Good to know
London Walks runs a large programme of guided walks across the capital every day, covering themes from Jack the Ripper and spies to the Beatles, hidden villages, the City and pub walks. It also offers indoor tours of places such as the National Gallery, canal walks, foodie routes and day trips further afield.
The breadth of the programme is the main draw: you can pick a different neighbourhood or theme each day of a stay. Check the published meeting point and start time for each walk before setting out. The website explains whether advance booking is needed for the walk you choose, and private tours can be arranged for groups. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as tours go ahead outdoors.
