Oddities Of Strand - Walking Tour

As you walk along a former beach you will discover, London’s, possibly the world’s, first wine bar, the scene of an elephant’s execution and the oldest family-run shop of its type on earth. You will also see a few sculptures that most people have never noticed, a back-to-front church and  the city’s largest clock face, no, not that one!

You will learn about the death of the bowler hat, and we’ll finish our tour with a drink in the close company of Dracula, close to one of the greatest, yet least known, collections of art anywhere.

This tour is guaranteed to have no more than 10 people taking part.

The tour lasts roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.

The tour starts and ends near Covent Garden Tube, full details given upon booking.
