Banksy Tunnel 

Let the kids get creative and concoct their own masterpiece in London’s largest graffiti zone, the amazing Banksy Tunnel. We supply the spray paint; however, if your inner-artiste is feeling shy, you’ll find a wealth of Insta ready artwork to snap instead #NOFILTER.

Changing of the Guard 

See the King’s Guard up close at the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Your guide will ensure you have the best vantage point and can avoid the crowds. The Guard Change takes places on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, but on days without the ceremony, you’ll still get to see the King’s Guards up close.

You’ll visit the Brockdale Bridge from The Half-Blood Prince (and pay tribute to those unfortunate muggles), dodge the Knight Bus from the Prisoner of Azkaban and see the magical school attended by Daniel Radcliffe.

Off-the-beaten-track route 

London has a medieval street plan that lends itself well to cycling (if you know where you are going!). Our routes take advantage of London’s network of cycle lanes, riverside pathways, park routes and lots of smaller, lesser-known back streets. Any traffic we encounter is slow moving and you’ll be safe at all times.
