Context Travel London Walk Review

Not so much a walking tour as a "walking seminar", Context Travel offers tours for the "intellectually curious". The small groups are led by docents (scholars) who have that sort of incredible knowledge the rest of us dream about.

I tried the Portrait of a City walk which is a three-hour tour of the oldest area of London. I'd heard it might feel like returning to university but, as there was no coursework and it was simply the opportunity to learn more about my favorite subject (London) from a scholar while walking around the city, I had a wonderful time, even if it was a very cold day.
