Best walking tours in London
London is a city you see best on foot or with a guide. Operators run guided walks through historic streets and along the river, while galleries and museums lead tours through their collections and current shows. The places worth knowing are the ones with tours running often, because a busy calendar means there is usually a walk or a guided visit you can join without planning weeks ahead.
The entries below are ordered by how active they are, counted from the tours each has coming up. It covers guided walks alongside gallery and museum tours rather than street walks alone, and it is a measure of activity rather than a ranking of routes or guides, so an entry near the top is simply one with plenty of tours you can join in person.
