Explore London live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Soho is worth asking about: the West End's theatre and nightlife district.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

Good to know about London

Do I need to be in London to join a session?

No. You join from wherever you are; the guide is the one in London, live on camera or on the phone.

How long does a session last?

Between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

What language is the session in?

Guides here offer English, French and German; pick the one you want when you book.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.

Can I ask the guide anything, or is it a fixed script?

Anything. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
