Harry's London Tours

Tours of London and the South East of England

This is just one of the sights you can enjoy on one of Harry's London Tours

Our tours are extremely flexible in itinerary and are readily
tailored to suit your special requirements.

We are happy to meet clients at the airport or hotel and offer half day, full day and evening tours. Having collected you from your hotel and ascertained the particular points of interest you wish included in the tour we visit landmarks such as Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square etc. We then drive via the Embankment towards the Tower of London taking in various points of interest stopping for photographs as desired. On to London Bridge and The Monument. The Monument commemorates the Great Fire of London (circa 1666) and the energetic can climb 311 steps to a spectacular view of the City of London and the River Thames. Ample oxygen awaits if you are short of breath, however; good coffee and doughnuts are just a few steps away once you are back downstairs.

We then drive past the Mansion House which is the Lord Mayor of London's official residence, the Stock Exchange and Bank of England.St.Paul's Cathedral is our next stop where you can explore the whispering gallery located high in the dome, or just admire the interior from ground level.

Around the corner is "The Old Bailey"or Central Criminal Court and the scene of many famous murder trials. The acid bath murderer,Crippin and Ruth Ellis the murderess both saw the trial judge don the famous black cap before sentencing them to death.

On via many more historical landmarks in the City of London to Fleet Street which was for many years the home of all the big London daily newspapers. Along the Strand where in the 18th Century "Toffs"or "Dandys" used to promenade to see and be seen.

How about a stroll across Tower Bridge to view the Tower of London? Next stop Covent Garden in the heart of Theatreland which was previously a bustling London flower market serving hundreds of trades people from 4 am each day. Here street artists, live entertainment, market stalls and a wide variety of small shops offer unusual craftwork and gifts. Clients stroll at leisure with the guide or on their own as they wish. Plenty of time now for shopping, photographs, a coffee or maybe something stronger in a pub if desired!

Shopping trips to famous London stores such as Harrods, Hamleys ( the famous toy store for younger visitors) can also be arranged as required.

How about trips outside of London Town?

Outside of London but just a day trip away is Royal Hampton Court with its lovely grounds, famous vine and Henry VIIIths. tennis court. Situated on the River Thames and built by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey as a personal palace much to the envy of Henry V111th, the ghost of Anne walks the corridors and rooms she lived and loved.

Windsor Castle, one of the present day residences of Queen Elizabeth with rooms of Royal treasures and State Apartments looking out to the playing fields of Eton school is just one hour from London. Here one may still see the boys in full morning dress walking through Eton between lessons. Runneymede(where King John was forced by the Barons to sign Magna Carta in 1215) is just a short drive trip away as is the Kennedy Memorial.

The Cotswolds with those wonderful classic English villages and Stratford on Avon (home of William Shakespeare) are just a day away.

If history excites the senses we can bring it alive with a trip to Stonehenge and its sacred Druid stone circle. How were they erected and why we ask? Further north at the Viking museum in York we can see, hear and smell the daily life of the village people as we travel seated in a time machine.

If Naval history is of interest then Southward we venture to Portsmouth. Tread the decks of H.M.S.Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship and see where he fell at the battle of Trafalgar. Nearby is The Mary Rose, flagship of King Henry VIII salvaged from the depths of the Solent and now preserved with many of its artifacts.

Whatever area you would like to see we will design a trip to suit with our personal attention at all times. Our vehicles are very comfortable and prices which include collection / return to the clients hotel vary according to the tour length.
