Overview

'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life' said Samuel Johnson. Well, if you think you know London and have seen all the big sights let me show you the stranger side of the capital. A great tour for frequent visitors to London or locals who think they already know it well.

We'll zig zag around, stopping at some things you would normally walk right past. Steps that lead nowhere, a lamp fed by an unusual sustainable bio fuel, a door that might fool some people and the sign for a very bizarrely named alley. Let's scratch our heads about old Imperial measurements and smile at the somewhat idiosyncratic pedestrian crossing lights.

Certainly plenty to smile and wonder about!

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
