Both medieval and modernist, London is a world capital that defies classification.
From ancient Roman ruins to Norman architecture, London is littered with reminders of its past. Landmarks like the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey, once the glory of medieval monarchy and now the setting for coronations, offer a peek into the city's long, often turbulent, history and rise to prominence. At the same time, contemporary structures like the Shard and the Millennium Bridge highlight London's evolution into a cutting-edge world capital. Its culturally vibrant immigrant neighborhoods and acclaimed literary, theater, and art worlds, personified by Shakespeare's Globe Theater and the Tate Modern, also form a portrait of an endlessly inventive city. Experience its many facets with Context's London private tours and London small group tours.
We offer a broad array of London private tours and London small group tours designed to appeal to every interest. Some of our most popular London guided tours include our Tower of London with Kids, which delves into some of the nuanced legends of the structure with a more family-friend approach (namely, glossing over some of the more gruesome histories that took place there), or our Westminster Abbey tour which explores over one thousand years of British history. Other London tours include a Shakespeare Tour, in which we immerse ourselves in the Bard's London and learn more about the history of this mysterious figure; our introductory London City Tour, perfect for first-time visitors; and our Learn about Royal London Tour with a history professor, a full-day experience in which we enmesh ourselves in the monarchy, from Westminster Abbey to Kensington Palace.

Annabel was knowledgable and most amiable. We enjoyed her company immensely and had a terrific time learning about food, history, and culture.

We really enjoyed our time with Alice. She's very personable and took the time to get to know us better and find out what we were interested in tasting. We learned some history from a few hundred years ago to things that happened last year in pop culture.
Some highlights from our tour: we found out our 11 yr old son is a cheese conniseur and has a palette well beyond his parents. We visited a very cool food hall hidden in seven dials. We ate at a family-owned Italian charcuterie shop with some fantastic cured meats and cheeses. Took a stroll through Chinatown and had some delicious bao. We had the cheapest and tastiest African coffee served from a shop run by Italians.
As you can see Alice took us to some highlights in English and many of the immigrant communities that make London such a melting pot for food. By the end of the tour, we felt like we knew Alice for many years and she was a friend we would see again on our next visit. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Alice!
