Westminster & The London Bridge Small-Group Walking Tour with Tickets to The Shard

Westminster and London Bridge walking tour with The Shard tickets

Book this 5 hour small-group walking tour to see more than 30 London sights with a local guide, then finish with entry to The View from The Shard. Groups are 10 to 15 guests. Tickets start from £85 per person, and your Shard entry is included, so there is no separate ticket to buy.

The walk starts in Westminster, passing Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. It then continues towards London Bridge via Shakespeare's Globe, Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral and the Square Mile, with views of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and HMS Belfast. The Changing of the Guard is included when the tour timing allows.

What is included

• 5 hour small-group walking tour of Westminster and London Bridge
• Expert local guide, with 10 to 15 guests per group
• Entry to the viewing levels of The View from The Shard

If you only want the view, book standalone The View from The Shard tickets, or choose The Shard champagne tickets to add a drink. For the Shard details, read the Shard visitor guide. You can continue along the river afterwards with Thames cruise tickets from Westminster to the Tower.

How the tour and Shard entry work

Your voucher is emailed shortly after you book and shows the exact meeting point and start time. Show it on your phone with a valid photo ID. Your guide leads the walk, then you use your included ticket to go up The Shard. To see the Changing of the Guard, choose a 10am start on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday, or any available day in June and July.

At The Shard, all guests go through security screening. Bags larger than 55 x 38 x 20 cm, outside food and drink, tripods and pets are not allowed. Opening times at the venue vary by date, so check your voucher.

Cancellation and tips

You can cancel this booking for free up to 24 hours before the experience for a full refund. Wear comfortable shoes, because much of the day is spent walking outdoors, and bring a layer for the open-air Skydeck. Children under 18 must be with an adult.

Who this tour suits

First-time visitors get Westminster's history and a skyline view in one booking, with no need to plan the route yourself. If you prefer to walk at your own pace, book Shard-only tickets and explore on your own.
