We chose this tour not knowing what to expect, because walking tours we’ve done in the past haven’t been centred around a specific time period. But we ended up loving that about it! It felt almost immersive. The tour roughly follows the timeline of the war as it played out in London - I really liked this as I hadn’t known before how the story of WW2 all fitted together, and seeing the buildings behind the history brought it all to life. Emily also involved us in the story in a way which helped you to imagine what life would have been like back then. We loved hearing the stories of people who lived or passed through London during the war, which were at times very emotional!
Overall, a fantastic way to see a different side to London. We were shown some of the most famous places, but also buildings we’d never have stopped to notice on our own. Emily is absolutely fantastic - she is such a fount of knowledge, incredibly warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
