Harry Potter's London
JK Rowling may be finished with Harry, but we're certainly not. This tour takes muggles of all ages inspired by the young wizard around the locations you'll know from all seven volumes. Visit platform 9 3/4, the Leaky Cauldron, the spires of Kings Cross station and the real Diagon Alley. [Flyer]



The Big Knickers Tour
Bridget Jones, everyone's favourite, is brought to life. Take a tour of the many London locations where the films were shot.



Jack the Ripper
Subject of many books, not least Patricia Cornwell's latest: Portrait of a Killer. Simon Rodway walks you through the dark, narrow alleys where Jack killed, and killed again. Both Jack and the victims are brought back to life for one more night of panic.



Beating About The Bush
Visit Shepherds Bush in West London, once home to Johnny Depp and Kate Moss. This is also where the British Film Industry started, it's also home to The Who, and BBC TV - who gave you Monty Python and The Office. See where seminal cult director Alfred 'Psycho' Hitchcock learned his trade. Review


Sherlock Holmes' London Walking Tour - Including 221b Baker Street



Still one of the most popular and enduring fictional characters in English Literature. Simon Rodway offers a glimpse of the locations featured on his popular Sherlock Holmes Walking Tour:




My Name is Bond........

The girls, the cars and the casino's... Ian Fleming's life was a mirror of Bond's, just without the licence to kill - or was it vice verse? Add to that the locations from 33 novels and 21 movies, Bond has left a flurry of London book and movie locations.

Walk the London of James Bond, possibly the most famous fictional character of the 20th Century.   Simon Rodway talks about his James Bond tour in this recent TimeOut feature. And on the event of Ian Fleming's 100th birthday, Simon Rodway introduces Ian Fleming's Mayfair:




Finding Neverland
Kensington Gardens will forever be associated with the Boy Who Never Grew Up, Peter Pan. Visit the refurbished JM Barrie Playground at the northern end of Broad Walk. See the parts of Kensington Gardens used to film the Johnny Depp movie. Also meet the Elfin Oak carved in1930 as home for elves, gnomes and witches. The walking tour also passes Barrie's London home and the famous statue he donated in1912.



Your Personalised Tour
Simon can prepare tours - and talks - for almost any group or interest.
