90 minutes
We delve into the underworld of Music Halls, the introduction of ice cream to the masses and the fortitude of Victorian engineering.
Your professional tour guide will help you master the back alleys, away from the wide shopping street you can easily imagine the characters who lived and worked in the area.
You will explore some of the beautifully maintained Victorian gardens, discover their hidden secrets before venturing through some residential streets, once the homes for artists Samuel Clarkson and William Etty and workplaces for literature giants Rudyard Kipling and Charles Dickens.
Stand where the Thames used to dominate, take in the messy madness of one of the most famous London markets and count the fair maidens on the way.
Accompanied by a professional guide, learn about the history of this area as you snap memorable photos.

"A wonderful walk around Victorian Covent Garden with the excellent guide Hazel. As a Londoner born and bred I'm fascinated by my city and always keen to learn new things and Hazel gave us a great insight into what went on in Victorian times, including the markets, music halls and the introduction of ice cream. Thoroughly recommended."
