Walking Tours in Central & Greater London

London has been home to many different people over the centuries who have all left their mark on 

the city and the country.  Tours (in Central London) include:

  • The  American Other (Westminster)
  • Chinese in London (Westminster)
  • In Shakespeare's Footsteps (Southwark)


The history and stories of London extend beyond the popular tourist attractions of central London. 

Eclectic Tours examine the origins, landmarks, and evolution of these different boroughs and 

the people who inhabit them. 


NORTHWEST LONDON SERIES

Although the inhabited history of North West London is not very old, its development continues the story of London, its people, and its expansion in the early 20th century. Tours include:

  • Discovering Colindale & Its Role in Early Aviation 
  • Exploring Kingsbury & The Places We Call Home

Talk: Chinese Food in British Culture on Tues 16 September

Part of East & SE Asian (ESEA) Heritage Month, Barnet Libraries hosts Eclectic Tour's Chinese Food in British Culture talk.  


The Chinese went from being viewed as ‘inscrutable’ and ‘dangerous’ in London’s Limehouse Chinatown to opening Chinese restaurants in every city and town in the UK that became an established part of everyday British life.


Based on Eclectic Tours’s Chinese in London walking tour, this talk examines how Chinese food became a British dining staple and how that helped change perceptions of the Chinese since they first arrived as seamen in the 1800s.


More details to follow.

If you have been to the RAF Museum, you have a set foot on a small part of what used to be the London Aerodrome. 


 Lisa Lu of Eclectic Tours delivers a talk based on her walk Discovering Colindale & Its Role in Early Aviation. Come hear about flying in the early 20th century and what became of the London Aerodrome in the decades following its heyday through to the present.
