This is not your typical tourist trail... on this unusual walk you'll discover some of the hidden parts of London that few people know about.

Starting by the equestrian statue of King Charles I in Trafalgar Square and ending at Piccadilly Circus, your guide will take you down gas-lit alleyways, past dusty bookshops and ancient pubs, and the remains of long-forgotten mansions.

You'll be shown the location of secret societies, superstitious hotels, and the sites of grisly murders where body snatchers dug up their corpses.

Highlights include London's smallest police station, the house where Mozart composed his first symphony at the tender age of eight, and the sole-surving home of one of America's Founding Fathers.
