Unseen Tours of London

Unseen Tours are for Londoners and visitors alike, and for anyone who wants to connect with people from different walks of life.

They are unique in that all the tour guides are or have been homeless. On the tours, they will share their own special perspective on London and on life on the Capitol's streets.

The Unseen Tours provide an alternative and exciting perspective on well-known landmarks such as Southwark Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Hoxton Square, Covent Garden, Brick Lane, and Borough Market, and also explore the quirkier nooks and crannies of London. Led by homeless guides with their own distinctive styles and life histories, each tour has its own personality, uncovering London’s hidden history and present-day reality from their perspectives.

There are six tours in all.

The London Bridge Tour starts from London Bridge Station.
The Covent Garden Tour starts outside Temple Tube Station.
The Mayfair Tour starts outside Green Park Station.
The Shoreditch tour starts from Old Street Station
The Brick Lane Tour starts from Hoxton Square
The Brixton Tour starts outside Brixton Underground Station

‘London’s homeless are some of the most creative and resilient people to share our streets and we’re very lucky indeed to have such a wonderful team of them to help us uncover the richness of hidden London’ (Lidija Mavra, co-ordinator).

Unseen Tours will challenge your view of what it means to be a person living in London.
