The small-group evening walking tour of classic London attractions starts in the heart of
London; follow the River Thames from east to west, taking in the great sights of the British
capital before ending your tour with a typical London dish fish and chips.
London's impact on world history and culture is second to no other city on Earth. London has
seen Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Normans, and now people from across the world
come and leave their mark on the capital capital, creating a uniquely varied city of amazing
contrasts. Roman walls sit next to Norman castles, Victorian Bridges next to towering glass
skyscrapers,and through it all runs the great River Thames.
The citys 2,000 years of history will come to life as you pass the remains of Roman London
and the 1,000-year-old Tower of London, and cross one of the most recognizable bridges in
the world, Tower Bridge. As you walk, your expert guide will recount stories that put in
context such London sights as London Bridge, Borough Market, Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre,the Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and
Big Ben.
While the guided walk is in no way tough, youll work up an appetite for a classic London
dinner fish and chips. Fish and chips, a firm British favorite for more than 150 years,
consists of a piece of cod, deep-fried in a beer batter so that its soft and succulent in the
middle with a crisp shell, served with thick, perfectly cooked chips and tartar sauce. You will
enjoy your dinner in one of Londons best fish and chip shops, an authentic, off-the-beaten
path place that stays true to the dish's working-class origins.
