  • Started listening 3 months before arriving in London. This podcast is insightful, and just the right length to make it a daily habit. Went back and listened to previous podcasts too. I was able to take several walks with David and team. Inquire about "superadult" pass, if you are 65+ Great rambles around London.

  • Interview with Simon ♥️

    David, your interview with Simon was spectacular! Loved turning the spotlight around to shine it on a guide and hearing Simon’s path to guiding. Clearly he loves being a London Walks guide and part of the family at London Walks. And that is just one of your secrets to success.

  • Most enjoyable & informative

    This is also fun. Refreshingly upbeat bite size London stories, it’s become a daily must listen for me. And a great advert for their walks. Nothing wrong with the American accent either!
