Departure Point

The Piazza, 1-7 Covent Garden, London WC2E, UK Before arrival, please install the VoiceMap mobile app and use the code provided on your confirmation ticket. This is a self-guided audio tour that you can start, pause, or restart at any time and complete at your own pace. Detailed starting point instructions are available after downloading.

  • Cranbourn St, London WC2H 7AR, UK
    This tour is about experiencing the hidden sides of London that were right in front of your eyes but you never noticed. Take a dive into the deep end of London’s quirky history as we move through tales of religion, drinking, and even a bit of 1800’s brothel banter. We will discover the secret behind the flowing of the River Thames, the origins of the name Covent Garden, and try to solve the mystery of the world famous Theatre Royal Drury Lane. All you have to do is open the VoiceMap app, put in your headphones and start the tour. You will be guided through the streets by the voice of acclaimed local guide Joey Leskin without even having to take your phone out of your pocket – except to take photos, of course! Key highlights include: - How the Americans stole coffee from the British—honest! - The only street in London where we drive backwards - London's most notorious brothel, and the extinct police force that shut it down - London's last original Victorian gas lamp The tour begins in Covent Garden and zig zags around the area, finishing not far away from the starting point. It has a total walking distance of around 2km and takes just over an hour without stopping. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and pubs all along the route for a quick (or lengthy!) break, however, and you can pause and resume the tour as many times as you like. Once you have downloaded it, the tour is yours to keep. Local tip: The Coal Hole pub, at the very end of the tour, is a great historical venue to enjoy a well-deserved drink!
  • Lyceum Theatre, London, United Kingdom
    Where the Lion King is hosted, but you'll hear about the Lyceum's decidedly non-PG history.
  • St Paul's Church, London, United Kingdom
    We'll describe the strange features of this Church and how they came to be.
  • Somerset House, London, United Kingdom
    We'll visit the Somerset House courtyard and I'll tell you why I think this is London's finest square.
  • Savoy Theatre, London, United Kingdom
    Hear the story behind the world's (not just London's) first public building to use electricity throughout.

    Did this tour a few weeks ago and loved it - got to know so much about the city despite having lived here my whole life. Learned a bunch of things I never knew, really easy to use the interface as well.
