A walk unearthing the secrets of the Strand and discovering its fascinating story: one of power, wealth and empire.
About this Event

Strand or 'the Strand' is at the heart of London and its story: so much of the history of the city is tied up in this street.

Join me as we walk along the Strand and dive down the alleyways around it to uncover its secrets and find out how power, wealth and empire have shaped it over the centuries.

You will hear of dramatic duels, egotistical lords and even a misunderstood elephant, as well as spotting the little details and hidden gems that many miss.

Two recent Tripadvisor reviews:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love Love Love What an excellent tour! Went on the “Power, Wealth, and Empire” Tour, got to see excellent sites. Jack was extremely accommodating, friendly, lively and knowledgeable. Saw some beautiful sites, learned a lot, and would very much recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn more about the hidden, lesser known sites of London. Very affordable too! Almost bawled my eyes out at one point of the tour, and was heartbroken when the tour ended. Until next time, Jack.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best London tour I’ve been on! Excellent tour. Jack is very engaging and clearly loves what he does. The tour was thoroughly researched and always fascinating. It touches on some real gems along Strand, along with some great Strand facts. 10/10 would recommend.
