What you'll see and do
Covent Garden
Once upon a time, Van Gogh lived in London. It happened when London wasn't so densely populated, and artists from all over Europe travelled here to be inspired by its fog and enchanting architecture. You will see vibrant Covent Garden, a hotspot for creative people since the 19th century. That's precisely where Vincent Van Gogh worked while living in London.

Strand
You will walk down the flamboyant area and reach Vincent's favourite street, the centre of London’s book and print trade. That's where he would come every morning to smell the fresh paint of the newspaper and go through the latest news. Luckily some of the Strand's shops thrived through the centuries and are still open.

Kennington Park
Walk through the emerald-green park while listening to the twirling birds as Van Gogh did 200 years ago. Today you are not you anymore. You become one with Van Gogh. This park is one of the few with frogs, and in the 19th century, Vincent went there to watch cricket games.
20 minutes here · Admission included
Van Gogh House London
Later on, you will see his rented place - just a tiny house outskirts in his time. Because back then, Stockwell was a rural area with only a few houses - a true paradise for artists to live, create and immerse into the atmosphere of woods, fields and flowers.

After taking pictures, you will end your experience at the local hidden gem - Van Gogh Cafe. Finally, with a hot cup of aromatic cappuccino, we will share our experience of this day.

Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals cost?
+
Prices start at $366 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 Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours 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 Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals?
+
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 Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals?
+
Around 0 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
What is included in Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals?
+
Included: Professional Artist Guide; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Gratuities; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals?
+
Next to the Tiffany & Co shop, right outside of the Covent Garden station Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Van Gogh London Walking Tour: Art, Love and Scandals?
+
