  • Who is Lord Nelson and why does he have such a tall statue in Trafalgar Square?

  • Learn about Larry the cat, who lives with the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.

  • Why does the King have two birthdays? How does he celebrate them?

  • Churchill. Hero or villain?

“Gavin is awesome! We really enjoyed the tour, Gavin ensured that nobody got bored for even a second, neither my two adolescent companions nor myself. He had the most interesting facts and his storytelling shows, how interested he is in the English and especially London history. We were fascinated by the sometimes random but very funny facts he knew about London. We were more than happy with our choice of discovering London with Gavin. One of the highlights of our London visit - if not THE highlight. Thank you so much.”
