Questions
Which one if I only do one?
Westminster to the Tower: the big sights in one line, in six languages. Staying west? The Royal Parks Walk ends at Kensington Palace. For a film, Harry Potter or Notting Hill.
Do the walks overlap?
Some do. St Paul's is on six of them, and six stop on or just off Whitehall. Each tells its own story there: at St Paul's the Blitz walk is about the volunteers who kept watch on its roof, Harry Potter about the Geometric Staircase that led to Trelawney's classroom in Prisoner of Azkaban.
Can we listen together?
Yes. Pick 1 to 10 seats when you buy, one for everyone on the walk, you included. Each person hears the same stop at the same moment on their own phone.
