Additional Information

Starting at the original tollgate entrance to London, we will go down the “hill” looking at the plush Victorian development created by the visionary James Ladbroke to include some of London’s largest private “Pleasure Gardens.”

You will hear about notorious and wretched slums, failed racecourses, and hard times that helped shape the luxurious Notting Hill we know today.

We will look at how art and music have defined the area, and where Jimi Hendrix lived and breathed his last. We’ll see some of London’s most colourfully painted houses, visit the markets, and walk in the footsteps of London’s biggest celebrities.

Guide brings London's social history to life - Wesley was an incredible guide, and he created an unforgettable experience for my group. He didn't just show us highlights of London's neighborhoods -- he told us the story of London's social history with great nuance and affect. He took the time to show us photos and illustrations on his iPad at certain locations to show the comparison of what was in front of us to what would have been present hundreds of years before. He truly brought history to life. Wesley is charismatic, engaging, and very passionate about these historical communities and community-building in general. I cannot recommend this experience enough!
