LONDON

Step into the shadows and stories of Victorian London on The Nancy Tour — a fun, engaging, and family-friendly walking tour through the historic streets of Covent Garden.

Led by Nancy herself — a sharp-witted Cockney “lady of the night” with a song in her heart and secrets in her past — this immersive theatrical tour explores the markets, theatres, alleyways, pubs, and hidden corners of old Covent Garden. Along the way, discover the lives of working women, costermongers, actors, flower sellers, thieves, policemen, and the colourful characters who filled London’s streets in the 19th century.

Visit famous locations including St Paul's Church Covent Garden, The Theatre Royal, Bow Street, and The Lamb & Flag, while hearing stories filled with humour, hardship, music, and survival.

And as Nancy recalls her younger days working behind the bar of a Covent Garden alehouse, serving a mysterious regular customer named “Charlie,” you may begin to wonder…

Sandy Beaches is an extraordinary tour guide. This is a unique and truly original tour of the fascinating, intimate, and intriguing sights, sounds, and smells of Covent Garden and its rich history.

Sandy gently guides you through the hustle and bustle of today’s market while weaving stories that span from the first Benedictine monks of the 12th century to My Fair Lady — a social phenomenon not unlike today’s Britain’s Got Talent.

With a delightful and witty take on events and locations, Sandy creates a fully inclusive tour designed to engage and amuse every group, offering a completely unique experience each time. No two tours are ever the same.

Enjoy Sandy’s comedy talents — a classic Carry On style with a modern, playful twist. From Seven Dials to Covent Garden, including the Actors’ Church, theatres, pubs, and hidden street corners, this is an hour on the hoof, with well-paced pauses to accommodate all guests.

LONDON

Stepping out of the mists of time...and into a pair of comfortable shoes, Liza Too-Little, The Queen of Covent Garden, returns triumphantly to the very cobbled streets where, as a wide-eyed flower girl, she first charmed London’s rogues, rakes and respectable society alike. Now a miraculous 135 years young, Liza is “Coming Out” of retirement for one very special limited London season — and she’s bringing the whole blooming city with her.

Join Liza as she sashays through the heart of Covent Garden and, memory allowing, recalls stories of cheeky costermongers, scandalous strumpets, Lords, Ladies and lovable rogues, while revisiting iconic locations steeped in mischief. Packed with wit, warmth and more innuendo than a Victorian music hall, Liza Too-Little: The Comeback Tour! is a gloriously tongue-in-cheek celebration of London life, proving once and for all that you can take the girl out of Covent Garden… but you’ll never take Covent Garden out of the girl.

LONDON

GIRONA

Kitty Slater Born-and-bred Londoner, tart with a heart, dropping pearls of wisdom with a cheeky-chappy smile; a diamond in the rough, salt of the earth... sharing historical facts and utter rhubarb. This Pearly Queen will roll out a barrel of Cockney rhyming slang, sing-alongs, and the Lambeth Walk, with a smattering of Punch and Judy folklore while sliding in actual facts and actual events. The tour will skirt the petticoat of Covent Garden Market, evoking tales from traders, barkers, barrow boys, to Pearly Kings and Queens.

LONDON
