Group Tours

East London and the Olympic Park Tour

From Central London, travel through London's East End - recently gentrified, fashionable, multicultural residential areas, scene of the medieval Peasants' Revolt, and once famous for market gardens, fine churches, textile, clothing, furniture and shipping-related industries. Hear a little of the dark side with stories of Jack-the-Ripper and street gangs.

Now into the 21st century, you arrive in the area of the Olympic park with views from the park perimeter of the 80,000-seat Main Stadium, the Multi-Sports Arena, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome, Olympic Village, Broadcasting & Media Centre and Stratford City.

For those who have a whole day in which to see East London we recommend a morning East London and Olympic Park tour combined with an afternoon Olympic Greenwich tour.

2012 Sites Tour

The tour starts in Stratford where you view the Olympic park and buildings from the perimeter of the park, and walk to the viewing gallery in Westfield. Hear the history of the 80,000-seat Main Stadium, the Multi-Sports Arena, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome, Olympic Village, Broadcasting & Media Centre and Stratford City.

Hear the history of London's Royal Docks, as you travel to the Boxing, Judo, Weightlifting, Wrestling, Table Tennis and Taekwondo venue. View the O2 Arena. See the new London City Airport, Thames Barrier Park, University of East London, new waterside apartments, offices, converted warehouses and smart hotels. This tour could also be taken using public transport.

For those who have a whole day in which to see 2012 Olympic London we recommend a morning 2012 Olympic Sites tour combined with an afternoon 2012 Olympic Greenwich tour.

2012 Greenwich Tour

Greenwich hosted six Olympic events and is therefore one of the main 'host boroughs'.

Your tour of Greenwich will include Greenwich Park, where the equestrian events took place against the stunning backdrop of the Queen’s House and Sir Christopher Wren’s magnificent Greenwich Hospital, now home to Greenwich University.

Cross the Meridian Line to see the superb barracks at Woolwich, which has the longest Georgian facade in Europe, and was the backdrop to the Olympic shooting, and Paralympic Archery competition. Finally, we can show you the exciting developments taking place on the Greenwich Peninsular, home of the O2 (formerly the Millennium dome), which hosted a number of Olympic events.

View the Olympic Park (seen from the perimeter, no admission to the interior of the park) and our guide will tell you the story of how this area has changed forever, and the future of some of the stadia after the games.

Step back in time, to visit Stratford's recently restored Theatre Royal - a little gem.
