Overview

This private walking tour takes us to many hidden, silent, sacred and secret gardens and ruins in the City of London. Even Londoners don't know about most of these sites and that is why they are such wonderful and historic places. Beautiful old gothic church yard gardens, each a peaceful, historic oasis in busy London.

Stephen was an excellent narrator for London's old churchyard gardens, laneways and architecture. Always finding the perfect spot to capture views, my photo's look like we were the only people in London that day.

Even though this was my 10th trip to London, I saw so much that I had never seen before and learned so much. Kevin's passion for London and for history is amazing. He brought so much to life and was so eager to share his knowledge. It was simply wonderful. Best tour guide ever!

Stephen was a fountain of information and actually wrote the book on the secret gardens we visited. Meet us at our hotel and walked with us to the underground, to get us to the start of the tour. Weaving through the city of London to gardens that the average tourist would never know existed. What a great time we had. Thank you Stephen
