Want to see all of London's 'must-see' sights and attractions? Want to hear quirky tales about London's amazing and sometimes bizarre history? Want to visit off the beaten track places that Tour Buses can't take you? Then this is the tour for you. The GRAND LONDON TOUR is designed to show you London in all of its glory - great monuments as well as hidden nooks and crannies - and to give a taste of a Londoner's London.

Cycling casually alongside riverside pathways, cycle lanes and park routes, ensuring your complete safety at all times, the tour includes stops at highlights such as the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the magnificent Royal Parks, where we stop for a refuelling break by the lakes. Then pedalling along the Mall we also take in Admirality Arch, Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, Covent Garden and St Paul's Cathedral. Wow! That's quite a list of places.

Yet, true to form we also reveal the unique, strange and amusing elements of this great city. How else would you ever find the world's smallest police station or an ancient Egyptian tower that has survived 3,000 years; learn about the historic struggle between the town planners and the milkmaids at St. James Park; or discover the church that inspired the wedding cake?!

There are so many other wonderfully eccentric characters, peculiar traditions and eyebrow-raising monuments to discover on our carefully selected route, that the GRAND LONDON TOUR really is a must-do for anyone who wishes to unravel London's most bizarre past and present. The only decision you have to make is deciding when to BOOK.

Tours last approximately 3 and a half hours, including a break and DEPART DAILY AT 10.30am.
