Join us for a 3hr historical stumble down the "street of shame". Starting in the shadow of the iconic St.Paul's cathedral, we explore the tiny backstreets and rambling courtyards the ancient City of London is famous for. We follow in the drunken footsteps of literary greats including Dickens, Shakespeare, Pepys & Johnson whilst pausing for a drink in at least 4 of the most historic pubs dating as far back as the 1500's. From discovering art nouveau gems to glamorous Victorian gin palaces we enjoy a variety of pub styles and breweries along the way. It's not a prescriptive tour, so you choose & pay for your drinks along the way. We're here to offer recommendations, and you can often "sip before you sup" with a few tasters on request from the bars along the way. This allows you to indulge as much or as little as you desire! Non-drinkers can soak up the history, and wine & gin-lovers are also well catered for. We usually finish up on the edge of Covent Garden perfect for theatre-land, restaurants and of course more pubs! Other note: - Guests are recommended to be over 18 years of age to enjoy the walk at its best. Anyone lucky enough to look under 25 years of age should bring photo ID - Group sizes of up to 14 participants - Alfie the dog is not always in attendance. Sorry! N.B. We have a small number of hosts so you might be meeting up with Chris, Mark, Wil or other

London is only truly experienced when you venture off the well-worn tourist track so that you can see, hear and feel the place the same way a local does. Only then will you get close to the true essence, to the true heart, to the very fabric of the place you are in and have an experience like no other. We are going to leave the touristy mainstream London to the side and explore its unseen and authentic neighbourhoods outside the centre because this is where the ordinary Londoners acutally live their everyday lifes! We'll see vibrant communities, walk along a local street market, discover urban oddities, delve into London's modern urban history, and examine its current challenges as well as future developments. Although the tour takes six hours, it is easily doable and not exhausting, and time flies. While moving around on trains and buses you'll be able to sit a bit and there's also a 40-min lunch break at a market in between. (Food not included.) START: at Paddington station (West London) FINISH: near Canada Water station (South East London) The experience might end 15 mins late if traffic is slow. I recommend taking my tour right at the beginning of your visit because it will greatly enhance your understanding of London. "Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London, show you something to make you change your mind." Fabian

Experience the freedom of exploring London by bike, just like a local, and get an exciting introduction to the best of London's landmarks and culture.

Following back streets and dedicated bike lanes, you'll ride from Big Ben past Westminster Abbey and up to Buckingham Palace, the home of the Queen, where we'll see the Royal Guards in their dapper uniforms. (Changing of the Guard days: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, & Sundays) You'll coast along (London is very flat!) at an easy-going pace, stopping regularly to hear fun facts and some quirky historical tales. There's time to take photos too! We'll then take a break to enjoy a pint of beer at a cosy historic pub where you can get to know your fellow travellers. Lastly, you'll have a chance to try street art in Banksy's graffiti tunnel (and we provide spray paint!). We've designed this route to give you the best introduction to London. It's a great balance between 'not to miss' sights and local gems. - The route is mainly flat and easy - London can be a busy & unpredictable - The total distance is 7 miles / 11km - We ride rain or shine - Great for groups - Solo travellers welcome - Best way to start a trip

I will give you a brief history of the Spanish tradition of Churros con Chocolate and tell you about my favourite places to eat them in Spain. Also, because we will be having the experience in a unique London setting of my houseboat, I will be happy to share what it's like to live as part of the East London boaters community too! I will show you the ingredients we will be using and which ones work better than others. Due to my limited space, I will be showing you how to cook/ prepare the dish for most of the time, but you will have a chance to play around with the dough - the fun bit - and see how it looks sizzling in the oil. The next part is making the delicious thick drinking chocolate which we will make from scratch - nothing comes out of a packet in my little boat kitchen! The ingredients can be made vegan very easily. The perfect experience for couples or adults with kids. Please note due to my space restrictions 3 guests is a comfortable number, however I can allow 4 if requested, please ask. Finally you will be able to eat the churros con chocolate whilst they are still hot, either upstairs in the pretty wheelhouse or the covered deck, a cute little space full of charm with views of the water - you may even see a duck floating past too!

Experience an enchanting Supperclub featuring authentic dakhni Indian cuisine. Upon arrival, you'll be invited to the dinner table, where a refreshing non-alcoholic welcome drink awaits. Once everyone is comfortably seated, you'll be introduced to the evening's three-course tasting menu, along with a brief description of each course. Please note that this is a BYOB event, so feel free to open your preferred beverages, with chilled storage available. Dakhni Indian cuisine is so much more than what's on the plate. It's a reflection of our hospitality, our culture, and the stories that come alive with every dish. For us, food isn't just about satisfying hunger; it's about creating a sense of warmth and community. It's about the joy of cooking and sharing a meal, which is at the very heart of our culture. This is a reminder that the essence of Dakhni culture extends well beyond the delicious flavors. Come and experience this first hand. All of this will be accompanied by the soothing melodies of vintage Bollywood vinyl records playing in the background. And our two cats, Enana and Aslan chilling in the background.

We will take you on a walk through the dark and narrow streets of London's famous Victorian East End. We will trace the footsteps and crime scenes of the murders Jack the Ripper committed. This tour is not for the faint hearted. Allow us to set the scene… It is the autumn of 1888, and a sinister serial killer is loose on the streets of London’s East End. At first he is known simply as ‘The Whitechapel Murderer’. But in time, thanks to a mysterious letter sent to a London news agency (a copy of which you will be shown in the course of the walk), he will become known as ‘Jack the Ripper,’ in which capacity his name will become famous throughout the world. You will see: - The places and buildings where his victims were murdered and found - Streets, buildings and alleyways that have hardly changed since 1888 - The pubs and buildings where his victims drank, worked and lived - The doorway where Jack the Ripper’s only clue was discovered - Police photos of the victims and evidence. Other things to note: Bring an umbrella if it is raining (or looks likes rain) Lots of opportunities for photos, bring a camera. Remember comfy shoes, there is a little walking involved
