A thoroughly enjoyable and informative evening! As a Londoner I learned so much about this part of town and the history of it. My 13 year old daughter found it really interesting too. Great fun with a knowledgeable tour guide - highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the tour and the guide was great fun and very knowledgeable. Answered all questions and had a really deep knowledge of London history. However, after we left we realised the promised enactment didn’t take place when we got back to The George Inn? Any explanation for this omission?
