Rather than a history lesson, this tour is more of an introduction to the places frequented by the aristocracy in Regency London. You will see parks and squares, some of the oldest shops and shopping arcades in the U.K. and even in the world, bookshops, exclusive gentlemen's clubs and theatres.

Hi, I’m Andreea, a passionate Londoner by choice for over 10 years—originally from Romania, but completely in love with this city ever since I arrived. I like uncovering hidden gems and bringing the stories of Regency-era London to life.
My walking tours started by guiding visiting friends, and naturally grew into curated experiences like my Regency London tour, inspired by my love of novels and historic places.
When I’m not exploring London’s streets, I’m traveling the world—over 40 countries and 5 continents so far—which helps me connect with travelers from all walks of life. I’d love to help you discover the magic of London through a local’s eyes!
