About See London

See London is maintained by a resident Londoner and walking tour guide for Free Tours By Foot London.

If you are travelling to London for a break, whether for a day or a few days then you most likely have an itinerary already or at least a number of things you’d like to see and do.

I’m hoping to offer ideas and advice for things to see and do that you may not have thought of as well as put some meat on the bones for some of the more usual attractions.

Of course if I can mix in some tips and tricks from a local to make your stay in our great City go smoother then I will do that too.

In some instances I may include links to sites that offer goods or services, it may be that in some cases I will earn a small commission if you buy anything. I want to be upfront about that.
