TrailTale is a free exploration app offering London walking guided routes and a repository of additional attractions in London and outside it. The guided walks take you through the
most interesting parts of London, and telling you their fascinating stories and rich histories. All
walks are FREE and no in-app purchase is required. Walk and listen to the stories at your leisure and at your pace.
These free London walking routes can be paused at any time, so you can return to the route when you’re ready. TrailTale gives you complete freedom. Each walk has roughly 20 points of interest, and is packed with fun facts, photos, maps, and images. An audio guide accompanies each point of interest, allowing you to listen while exploring.
The starting and finishing points of each walk are within easy reach of London’s central
public transportation, allowing you to continue your day’s plan with ease.
The content of the self-guided walks was developed using local experts, referencing many
historical books, and testimonies. TrailTale is suitable for the whole family, with bonus stops
and trivia at famous filming locations from Harry Potter to Bridget Jones along the way.

These are available if you walk the streets of London, or drive in the countryside.
