Overview

Discover the trendy and photographic neighbourhood of Southbank, renowned for the London Eye, Shakespeare’s Globe, and multicultural street food stalls! On this tour narrated by a local historian, you will walk through the colourful Southbank Centre, beautiful National Theatre, explore The Tate and Blackfriars, stroll along Ernie's Beach, and ultimately finish with a pub crawl at Doggett's Pub. Venture off the tourist trail, and discover the dynamic neighbourhood, its mix of crazy stories, famous residents, and great food, as you get a more intimate and local feel for the area. Discover how this area became the birthplace of British theatre and the beautiful St. Paul’s Cathedral. Learn more about its history, rich culture, and architectural gems, in a captivating adventure in a must-see neighbourhood.

Great, Funny Informative Self-Guided Tour

Published on Nov, 2023

This is a great self-guided tour of the interesting south bank of the Thames, starting at South Bank Centre (near Embankment Tube station) and ending by the Southwark Bridge. I found the commentary funny, informative and helpful. It's easy to follow along on the map and they have helpful pictures of sights they are talking about so you can easily find them. Well done!

This was part of their Comprehensive London Collection. This was the first tour I did as I was staying on Southbank. Lovely stroll along the river while listening to genuinely engaging and very interesting podcast tour. Great views of London too!

Awesome part of London and great tour!
