Fans of Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code and the blockbuster movie starring Tom Hanks will enjoy this tour of the London locations mentioned in the story.

Temple Church - Home of the Knights Templar

After meeting your guide outside Temple station you'll walk down the street where Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu escaped from Remy, and then head for the ancient home of the Knights Templar.

Outside the Round Tower of Temple Church

The 900-year-old Temple Church was built just sixty years after the Crusaders first captured Jerusalem, and still contains the stone effigies of eight medieval knights.

Your guide will delve into the history of the Knights, shedding some light on how they came to power in the Holy Land, and giving you a glimpse into the symbolism that features so heavily throughout Dan Brown's novel.

Da Vinci's painting in the National Gallery

A short walk to Trafalgar Square will take you to the National Gallery, where you'll see one of Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous paintings - The Virgin of the Rocks.

Leonardo Da Vinci's The Virgin of the Rocks

If you're familiar with the film then you'll know that it contains a small detail that, once pointed out, transforms the scene into something much more intriguing.

Horse Guards, Big Ben & Westminster Abbey

You'll then walk past the Royal Courts of Justice and Temple Bar and head down Whitehall, past the sentries outside Horse Guards, until you reach Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Along the way your friendly guide will be sharing some interesting stills from the film and quotes from the book, unlocking some of the central mysteries of the complicated plot.

The tour will come to an end with another talk outside Westminster Abbey.
