What you'll see and do
Sky Garden
Behold the "Walkie-Talkie", or Fenchurch building, a modern marvel with its distinct shape. Atop, the Sky Garden boasts panoramic views of London, blending urban architecture with green serenity. While its stature was curtailed to protect Saint Paul's Cathedral views, its charm remains unmatched.
15 minutes here
The Monument to the Great Fire of London
Behold the Monument to the Great Fire of London, a testament to the city's resilience. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, its symbolic design signifies where the Great Fire ignited. Beyond its historic significance, an adventurous climb of its 311 steps offers a panoramic view and a commemorative certificate.
15 minutes here
All Hallows By The Tower
All Hallows by the Tower, dating back to 675 AD, stands as London's oldest church, surviving the Great Fire. Inside, one can find remnants from the 13th and 14th centuries and a hidden Roman road. Once frequented by notable figures like John Quincy Adams, its proximity to the Tower of London also echoes darker tales from King Henry VIII's era.
10 minutes here
Sundial At The Tower Hill Underground Station
The Sundial at Tower Hill is more than just a time-telling tool. Each bronze plaque captures pivotal moments in London's history, from the Roman invasion to the end of World War II. As sunlight shifts, it guides us through these events, making this sundial a living chronicle of London's legacy.
20 minutes here
Tower Bridge
Marvel at the iconic Tower Bridge, a unique blend of bascule and suspension design allowing ships passage for over a century. While often mistaken for the London Bridge, its proximity to the Tower of London makes it distinct. It's been a pivotal Thames landmark since the 16th century, with tales of bustling ships and daring feats, like a bus driver heroically leaping its bascules in 1952!
Pass by without stopping
The Queen's Walk
Stroll the Queen's Walk, a riverside tribute to queens who've shaped London. From a 15th-century bustling Thames to grand houses in the 16th century after King Henry the 8th's reign, it's witnessed pivotal moments, including the 1666 Great Fire. Today, history meets modernity, with landmarks like the London Eye alongside age-old structures.
Pass by without stopping
The Shard
The Shard, Western Europe's towering icon, stands tall at 310 meters, representing London's modern face. However, its foundations lie in historical Southwark, once bustling with inns and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
10 minutes here
London Bridge
London Bridge, ancient and iconic, was more than just a bridge in the 15th century; it was a lively street with shops, homes, and even a chapel.
Pass by without stopping
Borough Market
Borough Market, a culinary gem, has been at the heart of London since 1014 AD. Once a key trading spot by London Bridge, it flourished into a vital hub by the 16th century.
20 minutes here
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
The modern Shakespeare's Globe, opened in 1997, stands as a tribute to theatre's enduring charm. Inspired by actor-director Sam Wanamaker, this replica mirrors the original using traditional materials like unseasoned oak and thatch. It revives the interactive Elizabethan theatre experience, encouraging lively audience participation, and bridging past and present.
5 minutes here
Tate Modern
The Tate Modern, a renowned art gallery, was once a power station designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Repurposed in 2001, its transformation by architects Herzog and de Meuron skillfully blends industrial heritage with contemporary design. Inside, vast spaces like the former turbine hall showcase art, while upper floors offer panoramic views of the Thames.
20 minutes here
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge, once notorious for its unexpected wobble after its 2001 debut, stands firm today.

Such a nice way to explore London on my own. I discovered little corners near the Monument that I would’ve missed otherwise. Really well done.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Self Guided City Tour With an App: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Self Guided City Tour With an App cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London Self Guided City Tour With an App take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London Self Guided City Tour With an App worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London Self Guided City Tour With an App?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London Self Guided City Tour With an App suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book London Self Guided City Tour With an App?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Self Guided City Tour With an App start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
