Staff Review: Hidden London Experience with Fun London Tours

hidden-tour

The bustling city of London is notorious for its skyline, featuring such landmarks as The Shard, London Eye, Somerset House and many more. But, I bet you’ve never explored its hidden streets, tucked away pubs or ghost stories of the past. Well, recently Leoni and I were invited to take part in an experience that would give us a different perspective of the city and learn a thing or two about its intriguing history.

First agenda of the day was meeting our bubbly tour guide, Jess, outside Temple Tube Station. He was easy to spot with his bright blue tour jacket and matching flag (great when you’re making your way through the crowds of London), then we set off towards out first stop.

Our first stop was on Strand Lane, outside some baths believed to be from the Roman era. However, this has been disputed over the years. It’s hard to think they are Roman Baths as the area of London the Romans invaded was actually miles away… suspicious. Turns out, they were branded as Roman Baths as an advertising gimmick and were actually a portion of a cistern built in 1612 to feed a fountain nearby, oops!

We moved onto our next stop which was an abandoned underground station. Jess filled us in on stories of how the underground was used in the war as a bomb shelter and they’d play live music to entertain people throughout the raids. We don’t want to ruin all the stops on the tour before you go out and enjoy it for yourselves, so we’ll move on to the last stop…..

Jess’ story begins on Fleet Street about a particularly infamous barber you may have heard of – Sweeney Todd. The ‘demon barber’ would entice customers in for a haircut and shave; then slit their throats. The story gets worse as he would then give the bodies to Mrs Lovett for her pies in the shop next door. Whether this story is fiction or a true story, it’s up to you to decide!

Thanks again to Fun London Tours and Jess for inviting us on the tour. We have certainly learnt about a different side to London! This tour is the ideal gift for a history fan, whether they are a London local or planning a trip to the city, you’ll be taken to hidden gems the city has to offer, rich with history and culture.

Fun London Tours: Expert Interview
There's nothing better than being able to explore London with the assistance of an expert guide who can provide you with knowledgeable information! Fun London Tours host an array of intriguing tours to witness the bustling city of London and we've asked them a few questions to gain a further insight!


Where did the name Fun London Tours originate from and were there any other names you were contemplating?

I spent some time deliberating over the name of my tour company. Eventually I reduced the shortlist to a few, with names like ‘Unique London’ and ‘Unusual London’ but when I sent the list out to friends, Fun London Tours was the one which drew most support, and felt the most memorable and catchy to me. I also spent an evening with a couple of friends designing the logo, it was so much fun!





From your perspective, what was the inspiration behind wanting to provide customers with the opportunity to witness London with an expert guide?

Every time I go overseas, I tend to join a walking tour, and have found many of them really bring a city to life. This is the kind of experience I want travellers to London to have, and to create tours which people living in London can enjoy as well. There’s nothing better than seeing your own city brought to life in a new way. The most common phrase I hear locals say when they join one of our walks is ‘I’ve come here many times, but I’ve never noticed that before!’





When comparing to your competitors, what makes your brand so unique?

Before I created the tour company in 2013, I had been working with an open top bus company for a year, and although I enjoyed the experience, I felt that it was rather impersonal and corporate with no real regard for the customers. I also went on tours led by other companies and believed there was space for a tour company which led fun, historically accurate walks. All my tours are designed by myself, so are completely unique, and I believe this desire to dig out the more unusual and quirky historical anecdotes sets our tours apart. We are a small group of guides and although I run the company I also lead tours, and this means that we really do care a great deal about the experience people have with us.





Hosting your tours must be so fun, what's the best part?

I love all the aspects of leading tours. The interaction between myself and my guests is always life affirming – I always meet interesting people, and to see how much people love to learn about London really makes me feel great about what I do. Telling unusual stories and revealing hidden spots is always fun. And I also love the research and design which goes into all of my walks – this can sometimes take months and is a real labour of love.





What is your vision for the future of Fun London Tours?

I personally hope to continue to guide for many more years, but I will continue to employ the most passionate and amazing tour guides in London to deliver the walks that I have already created. And every year I will keep adding to our selection of walks. As Samuel Johnson said, ‘When a man tires of London, he tires of life itself.’





On a typical experience, what can a customer expect within a visit?

Our tours are always enjoyable and led by guides who love to engage with their guests. We allow anything between 4 and 20 people per tour, and these generally smaller group sizes means that there is lots of interaction and opportunity for questions along the way. It really is a personal experience and people will always leave with a few stories and anecdotes to tell their friends!


Thanks for reading!


We'd like to say a massive thank you to Matt from Fun London Tours for giving us some fun insight into the world of tour guides! We hope we can come and enjoy some more tours with you soon!
