    Highly Recommend this tour. Tom was extremely knowledgeable, learnt so much and love the Macabre so this tour highly appealed to me. I text Tom before the tour to check on meeting point and he responded straight away. As we moved from locations he was lovely chatting and answering questions. There is so much history and he brought it to life. Thanks Tom for a great tour.

    This was a great walking tour, I really enjoyed it! Tom is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. We had many interesting stops along the way. The groups are small, that ensures that everyone can actually hear what is being said. I would definitively recommend this tour if you're visiting London and are interested in a different view of the city's history.

    So much fun! Not only was it interesting, it was entertaining too! Getting to see this part of London was a true treat. We arrived late and our tour guide checked in and helped us find the group. It was so kind!

    This was a great tour! Our tour guide Tom Currie of Historic London Tours was incredible-just so knowledgeable and we learned so many interesting things about the historical aspects of places like the Smithfield market and plague pits of Charterhouse square. Tom's historical descriptions were incredible - you could look at a place and imagine the historical scenes from the 1100's to the Smithfield market in the 19th century, and the scene in WWI and WWII- Highly recommended !!!
