Hidden London is all around you — but it only reveals itself when you know where to look.
On this fun and surprising walking tour, that's perfect for both adults and families, you’ll see the country’s smallest police station, visit a back‑to‑front church, and even take a peek inside a playwright’s head. You’ll encounter dangling balls, hidden bones, and a buried beach. There’s a murder, a music video, and a magical alley. You’ll also see a whipping post, a gentleman’s club, and a famous slapstick — not forgetting a farty street lamp and a killer toilet. If all of that doesn’t leave you flushed with excitement, nothing will.
Your guide is a Londoner, a historian, and a stand‑up comic, bringing the city’s secrets to life with humour and insight. It’s a circular walk, so you finish where you started — but with a far deeper understanding of London’s hidden stories.
If you miss this walk, you’ll miss what’s hidden forever. Book now.

5.00We really enjoyed the fascinating tour and even though we’re Londoners it was exciting to find out more about the area. Robin was knowledgeable and made it very interesting- it was well paced and great that it was such a small group so didn’t haven’t hang around waiting etc on such a boiling day. We also appreciated the accompanying photos and pictures. Robin had a good sense of humour and was happy to answer questions Will def look up other tours he does !
Fun and informative

Extraordinary tour guide reveals hidden Westminster gems

5.00I can honestly say that this is the most exciting tour delivered by the best ever tour guide (Robin). I am a Londoner of 73 years and thought I knew Westminster until this tour. Robin opened my eyes to what was hidden in plain sight and in the depths of the meandering city alleyways. His detailed knowledge, fun interactions and interesting questions made me think and make some surprising connections. Robin is simply buzzing with an enthusiastic curiosity that brings hidden London into the light - what a pleasure; a truly extraordinary experience!
Humour and knowledge combined

5.00Humour, knowledge and originality - our guide exceeded expectations with an absorbing couple of hours uncovering some of London’s hidden features and less well-known tales. As a longtime London resident I was delighted to discover places and stories I didn’t know - or had forgotten - in familiar streets. Robin was exceptional company as well as being an excellent guide. Highly recommended.
Fascinating and enjoyable walk

5.00A brilliant way to spend a couple of hours in central London. So many curious, surprising and gorgeous things to see. Even more amazing when you've been exploring London for the last fifty years and not encountered these hidden treasures. Robin was such an entertaining and well informed guide that I thoroughly recommend this walk.
Knowledgeable guide with interesting stories.

5.00This was a very interesting morning and our guide was very knowledgeable, with some funny tales. We visited several locations, statues and historic buildings and heard stories and quips about some of the characters. Although I am a Londoner, it is always great to see new (hidden) locations not far from the main roads and hear the history and unusual tales about them.
Another fantastic walk from Fantastic Walks

5.00Another brilliant walk with Robin from Fantastic Walks—this was my third, and each one has been just as enjoyable as the last. That said, the *Hidden Westminster* walk really stood out. It’s packed with surprises around almost every corner. Robin’s knowledge is incredible. Even as a Londoner, I discovered places I had no idea existed—including a church dating back to the 1500s that we actually got to step inside—and heard fascinating stories I’d never come across before (too many to list here). It makes sense when you learn he’s a history teacher. He also happens to do stand-up comedy, which isn’t hard to believe—he’s genuinely funny throughout the walk. Highly recommend booking the Hidden London walk—it’s a fantastic experience from Fantastic Walks. Bravo (again) Robin
