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!
