Is this the right London tour for you?

If you love Downton Abbey and the wider world it’s set in, this is the tour for you. There’s something for every lover of a good period drama, and you’ll learn lots about society and culture in London.

Many of our guides love Downton Abbey. Barry, Paula and Keith agree there’s nothing better than an evening spent in the company of the Crawleys – preferably with a hearty roast dinner and a pint of British ale on the table, too. They’re looking forward to chatting with you about the series and the film, from Lady Mary’s love life to Carson’s sugar bowl!

Why take a taxi for your Downton Abbey tour?

You’ll find Downton Abbey walking tours of London, so why is a taxi better? For one, you’ll have your own private transportation for the whole tour – if travelling in style is good enough for Lady Mary, then it’s good enough for you! Locations of interest are spread out across the city, so you’ll be glad of your own black taxi to take you from place to place. There’s time for a spot of sightseeing along the way too. This is your private, bespoke tour.

Your guide will take you beyond the realms of filmsets into the world of Downton Abbey itself, showing you a snapshot of Edwardian and post-Edwardian London. It’s a more personal, more charming experience than a walking tour could ever give you.
