Hello, We are a group of passionate London tour guides.
More Info »
This Funzing Experience:
It is on this guided walk we delve into what makes a Victorian Christmas and explore well-know traditions which may be older than you think.
The City of London is awash with narrow alleyways reminding us of its historic past and it is on this walk where we have the opportunity to explore their evocative nature.
The walk starts at St Paul's cathedral, through old streets of London, exploring lives the Victorians at Christmas, dipping into Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.
At the beginning of the 19th century Christmas was hardly celebrated. Many businesses did not even consider it a holiday. But by the end of the century it had become the biggest annual celebration and took on the form we recognise today.

- Really disappointing. I felt the guide could have fitted in twice as much information if she'd been a bit more dynamic. I also found her manner patronising and slow, with her stopping to ask "now, who ate turkey yesterday?"; "who knows what Samuel Johnson was famous for?" And "who's heard of the saying "bah humbug?" Maybe more suitable for a younger audience. Also, the tour was advertised as two hours 14:00-16:00; in fact it ended at 15:25. Not good value.
