The London Theatre Walking Tour

Our family (parents and a teen) enjoyed this theatre tour with Charlie as our knowledgeable, professional, and gracious guide. Even as fairly avid theatregoers and frequent London visitors, we learned much about the people and venues that have made the West End what it is today. We highly recommend — it’s one walking tour where you can “break a leg” (and learn the origin of the phrase) without actually breaking a leg! Bravo, Charlie!

I loved this tour! Charlie is a fantastic guide who knows a huge amount about theatreland and its history. The tour takes you through some of the nicest parts of central London, and is jam packed with interesting anecdotes. Recommend.

I am delighted to write this review. Charlie Tantam, our London Theatre Walk tour guide, such a very informative, considerate and a personable young man. Even though the day was a little damp it was not a problem as we were able to shelter under porticos and verandas while Charlie imparted to us his wealth of knowledge. We had a coffee break enabling members of this walking theatre group a chance to chat. Such a wonderful way to walk around London and view the theatres in a leisurely manner. Best of wishes to Charlie with this business venture.

We enjoyed this tour so much. Charlie is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and really knows his London theatre. Anyone interested in the history of theatre or in London’s historic buildings would love the tour. Charlie’s collection of historic theatre programmes was used very effectively at different points on the tour and really adds to the interest. Thank you Charlie for a great day.

Charlie's passion for theatre is infectious...in a good way! Lots of interesting stories and a great opportunity to learn about the history of London theatres. Also good for discovering hidden gems down back streets and alleys and having the time to appreciate what Theatreland has to offer.

A fascinating walk that opens up London’s theatre landscape. Familiar west end streets are seen through new eyes as the actors, productions and rivalries come to life. Charlie was a great guide. A must-do for anyone who loves the theatre.

Really interesting walking tour led by a knowledgeable guide who had a host of entertaining stories about each of the many wonderful theatres we went to. I really appreciated the host of original historical programmes which were shared with us as we paused. Although I’ve lived in London for decades and am an avid theatre goer I still learned many new things. Also highly recommended to tourists interested in the theatre. Fantastic!

One excellent way to stop yourself just walking into a theatre by getting to know its fascinating history. Charlie, our guide was informative and knowledgeable about the world’s theatre capital. An actor whose enthusiasm and communication skills shine through with passion and perception. A well paced tour which retains interest and thirst for more. Well worth the effort.

Such an interesting tour of London's theatreland. Guide was knowledgeable ,entertaining and used a fascinating collection of vintage theatre programs and photos to help bring the history alive.

A Must Do Tour for Theatre Lovers
Charlie is wonderfully and amazingly knowledgeable of the history of theatre in London. He knew any number of facts of many actors or plays brought up during the tour. His passion for the theatre really shows though his tour! I highly recommend booking if you have a love for history and, especially, if you have a like for theatre. He was funny and quoted famous lines adding to the atmosphere of respect for the acting world in London. Ask about the famous actors he's met and stay for the secret ending destination. A very well organized and planned tour. You will learn a lot!
