Hi! I'm Gary! I love showing guests my beautiful, historic city. I also love meeting people from all over the world! So it made sense to become a tour guide and create unique walks for you, thereby unlocking the fascinating stories about London and unleashing a host of unforgettable colourful characters to take away with you.
Step into Christmas and join me on this fun and fascinating guided walk of many of London's famous festive locations.
As we explore the city together, you will discover how Londoners celebrate at this most wonderful time of the year, and learn about the many traditions & customs still observed. Of course, you will also see the world famous Christmas lights and decorations.
This isn't just a walk, this is an experience, as perhaps you will sample some festive food, sing a Christmas song and even pull a Christmas cracker.
Highlights include:
- Trafalgar Square with its famous tree (an annual gift from the people of Oslo.
- Covent Garden's wonderful Christmas market
- The ice skating rink at historic Somerset House
- the iconic Regent Street Christmas lights
- the theatre where Peter Pan was first staged

So join me on this festive, fun and interactive tour, and enjoy London at this very special time of the year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I will meet you just outside Temple Station, holding a sign saying, "Christmas in London!"
You will immediately step into Christmas when you see the festive ice skating rink in this historic palace, frequently used as a movie location!
Walking through the oldest piazza in London, you will experience the sights and sounds of this most wonderful time of the year, as the market is adorned with Christmas decorations. There is also a photo opportunity beside the best Christmas tree in London (in my opinion!)
The Actor's Church built by Inigo Jones.
This atmospheric alley, unseen by many, and one of the inspirations for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter movies.
The location of three theatres including The Duke of York which premiered Peter Pan in 1904.
The very centre of London, and home of the famous Christmas tree given to London by the city of Oslo in recognition of British help given to Norway during World War Two.
Another festive market amongst the statues of movie stars.
We finish our festive walk with a view Regent Street's traditional Christmas Angels. From here you can make your way to the lights of Carnaby Street and Bond Street.
