Your expert guide will take you down winding streets little changed since Dickens day; you will view elegant buildings and humble houses. You'll also visit hidden museums and the site of palaces and prisons. All London life and history is here - from the criminals and paupers of Victorian days, to the bright lights of the West End, also the engineering and social triumphs of the 20th century. On these walks the drama of unusual London will unfold before you.
