About the Tour

Just minutes from the bustling Camden markets lies London’s quaint Primrose Hill neighbourhood. On this walking tour, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view across the city from the top of Primrose Hill all the way to Canary Wharf, and then stroll down through the beautiful Regent’s Park to Baker Street. Along the way, you'll visit picturesque streets, and discover secret gardens away from the crowds that even most locals have never heard of.

Trace the development and history of the area and hear stories relating to:

Regent’s Park, Regent’s Canal and the Prince Regent’s royal connection
The world’s first scientific zoo, London Zoo, and how it almost disappeared
The striking architecture surrounding the park
What happened when thousands of people wrote letters to Sherlock Holmes

If you’ve ever wanted to spend a little time getting to really know the city, then this is the walking tour for you.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Do tours without paying for data

Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

We'll walk past several cafés along the way in Regent's Park - I'll point them out. Plus, the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds.

Best time of day

Dawn too dusk. Make sure to begin this tour at least one hour before sunset as The Regent's Park closest at sunset.

Precautions

Be careful when crossing roads as some short crossings don't have pedestrian or zebra crossings.

App Store Review

“Great app. walk around at your own pace, stop where you want, move on or speed up when you want. Read the script before you go or during the commentary, speed it up or replay it. Repeat the tour whenever you like.”
