private guided tours from london

Begin your day with a pickup from your London hotel, airport, or cruise terminal. We will collect you in a luxury Land Rover Defender 130.

Arrive in Richmond upon Thames, home of AFC Richmond and Ted Lasso. During our guided walking tour, you can stop for a pint at Ted's favourite pub, The Princes Head, (Crown & Anchor in the show). Get a photo by the famous red London phone boxes and stroll across The Green, scene of so many AFC Richmond training sessions. We will stroll through the narrow streets of Richmond, thronged with independent shops, cafes and bars, and home of Ted's apartment. 

During the walking tour of Richmond you will experience the beauty of one of London’s prettiest boroughs, sometimes known as ‘Rockstars upon Thames’ because of the number of stars that live or have lived there, including Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Pete Townshend of The Who, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Tom Hardy, and Richard E Grant. The Rolling Stones played their first gig here in 1963 at The Crawdaddy Club.  

We'll walk the beautiful River front, see Richmond Palace and Richmond Green, home of some of London's most expensive real estate.

For lunch you can go to one of many local pubs or cafes. Or we  visit the restaurant at Petersham Nurseries. A charmingly casual yet sophisticated restaurant, set within a glasshouse. Brimming with fragrant bougainvillea and jasmine, draped with Indian blinds and decorated with antique furniture, mirrors, and paintings. But we will need to book well in advance!

After lunch we will head to Kew Gardens with a slow drive through Richmond Park and see the herds of wild deer. Kew is London's world famous botanical gardens that house the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world. Founded in 1759, its living collections include some of the 27,000 plants curated by Royal Botanic Gardens. The herbarium, one of the largest in the world, has over 8.5 million preserved plant and fungal specimens. It is one of London's top tourist attractions and is a World Heritage Site.  

After experiencing Kew Gardens we will head back to central London top drop you at your hotel.
