f you are very lucky, while walking around London sightseeing you may just stumble upon some of these unexpected and charming London locations. Or you may not!

A London that is full of hidden, fascinating places that have survived centuries of city development and managed to stand still in time. With a little imagination these hidden cobbled streets and secret alleys can transport you centuries back in to the past, the ghosts of ancient Londoners just going about their daily business. Enjoy a side of London millions of visitors never get to see. Note – to fully appreciate some of the places we want to show you this will involve a little more walking than the average London private taxi tour.

· Medieval Gateways and a secret Medieval street.
· Roman remains and a Roman tower in the heart of the city
· Timber framed buildings that survived the Great Fire of London 1666
· Narrow alleyways and back alleys that Charles Dickens would have known
· Hidden courtyards
