Your purchase is for 30-day access to our self-guided cell-phone tour. Tickets or entry fees
for museums, historic sites, and other attractions are sold separately.
Stand where crowns were guarded and sentences were whispered, then follow the river’s edge through markets, bridges, and vaulting domes. At the Tower you learn how power was kept, who risked everything at Traitors’ Gate, why the ravens matter, and how the place still shapes the monarchy. Cross to Borough Market for the city’s tastes and stories, step through Roman and Victorian layers at Leadenhall, and see how engineers solved the wobble on Millennium Bridge. Your map shows where you are and each stop as you go, so you choose the order and the pace.
