Tour details

Explore London’s Secret History on Two Wheels

Ride through the heart of old London, where medieval alleyways, Roman ruins, and riverside tales meet glassy modern towers.

Hear the stories London keeps under its hat: the Great Fire and the Blitz, river pirates and smugglers, livery halls and guild power, and a community that stood firm on Cable Street.

Expect street art, secret gardens, proper pubs, and cracking views of St Paul’s and the Thames.
