Overview

Private Tour – just you with your fun and informative guide. This is a full day guided tour of hidden beauty spots and gardens in central London. Very much a private tour as we black cab it from garden to garden along with some walking. Included are the delightful hidden gardens of the Inns of Court, Lady Diana's sunken garden at Kensington Gardens as well as the amazing Chelsea Physic Garden.  All garden admissions are included as is a lovely traditional high tea. Please note: moderate fitness required as during the morning portion it is very much a walking tour.

Itinerary

  • Kensington Palace

    At Kensington Palace we enjoy Lady Diana's wonderful sunken garden.

    45 minutes

  • Sir John Soane's Museum

    John Soane was a well-known Victorian architect but also an avid collector of antiquities, sculpture, etc. See all of this in his splendidly maintained home.

    45 minutes

  • Trafalgar Square (Pass By)

    This is very close to our starting point at Saint Martin in the Fields Church. One of London's iconic squares.

  • Covent Garden (Pass By)

    Full of history - it was once the flower market for London.

  • Chelsea Physic Garden

    This amazing garden was started by the apothecaries where they could grown their own medicinal plants. Here we enjoy the garden as well as pause for a lovely high tea.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Lincoln's Inn Fields

    This is one of the largest squares in London and the location for the Sir John Soane museum. Also, we pause here for our mid-morning coffee break.

    45 minutes

  • Inns of Court

    The Courts include some lovely gardens hidden away from most tourists.

    30 minutes

A delightful tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed the London garden tour with Suzy! Interesting history facts along the way, (which I never would have discovered on my own), pocket gardens through London, and, of course, afternoon tea at Chelsea Physic Garden. Suzy was friendly, knowledgeable, and I believe a real asset to the tour company.

Secret Gardens were a wonderful well kept secret!

Published on Jun, 2024

My daughter and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Suzy was very knowledgeable and professional. The meeting place was easy to get to and Suze was there waiting for us. We went to places I had no idea were there and learned a lot about them as well as different types of plants which I enjoyed as I garden. Suze would look up and identify any that I didn’t know. The High Tea was very good as well and I would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour of hidden gems!

Published on May, 2024

Fantastic tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and personable. Susanne was very good and answered all our questions. Loved the places we were taken to and enjoyed the gardens immensely. Saw places and flowers we didn’t know existed and if I wanted to know a type of flower/plant, she looked it up. High tea was great! Would highly recommend!

Excellent Tour

Published on Jul, 2022

Highly recommend the Secret Gardens tour to friends and family. We particularly liked the Physics Garden, but all of the gardens were lovely and so pleasant. Our guide, Stephen, was so knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. The afternoon tea at the Ivy Cafe was fabulous!

Wonderful day out

Published on Sep, 2020

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Stephen. He was an incredibly well-informed and interesting guide and we saw parts of London which we had never seen before (despite having lived there for 20 years). The delicious tea at the end was the icing on the cake!!
