"I wanted to go on a photography tour because I’d had my camera for some time but didn’t really know how to use it properly. Mike gave me plenty of tips on what things to consider when taking a photo e.g. light and perspective. I was so pleased with my photos from the day and am really grateful to Mike for such an enjoyable day!"

"Excellent walking tour. Went out with Mike who is extremely knowledgeable. I learnt a great deal about the places we visited and about my own camera too. As a beginner, I found Mike to be very patient and I had really enjoyable time. Came back with some great shots."

"Since semi retiring and moving to another part of the country, I have taken up photography, but needed help. I decided to book a tour with London Photo Walks and had a lovely day in London. I thought I knew the City, I was so wrong. Mike really brought the sights alive and I learnt such a lot from him and photography. It was amazing and cannot thank him enough!"

"Mike gave me clear advice and explained how to use my camera controls to be more creative in my photography. He was able to answer all of my questions about both my camera and knew a lot about the history and trivia of the places we visited on the Royal Parks walk. I would highly recommend this tour to photographers of all skills levels looking to improve their skills and the printed guides we were given at the end of the walk have been really useful."

"Mike really knows how to be both a knowing tour guide with interesting facts about London and to show you the best spots for taking nice photos and helping you with composing your pictures and handle your camera. He was really dedicated and even did overtime when showing us parts of the City we did not originally book."

"Mike was super knowledgeable both about photography and about the sites we visited on the tour. He was not pushing photo-facts down our throats, but gave us small hints here and there that enabled us to both have a great day, but also take home some neat photos that we can hang on the wall and remind us of a great day out in London."

FREE Photography Tips and Walk Guides

Each guest receives a comprehensive guide giving you a brief history of the sites visited on your walk plus an indispensible guide on photography with tips on composition, exposure, lens choice, creative controls, filters, shooting panoramic images and more.

What to Bring

You can enjoy the walk without a camera if you wish (you can get some great photos with your mobile phone). Any camera will do, and if you have them bring spare charged batteries and an extra memory card. Check the weather forecast (links on the FAQ page) and bring suitable clothing.
