Overview of your London tour:

An exciting walking tour of London's entertainment districts. Explore suave and salacious Soho - once the red light area but now an area teeming with clubs, bars and restaurants - hear about many of the rock stars who have lived and recorded here. Next is a stroll through the heart of Theatreland - home to 39 theatres; fashionable Carnaby Street and a mural telling the story of Soho; next a stop in Piccadilly Circus and then Chinatown and Leicester Square, where the red carpet is rolled out for many film premieres. We then work our way (via a lane straight out of Harry Potter) to Covent Garden. Once the site of London's fruit and veg market it is now an area bursting with interesting shops and pubs and bars (we can of course stop to visit one if you like!). We finish by visiting the public areas of the Royal Opera House where you will have an amazing view and the opportunity to purchase a drink to celebrate your discoveries.
