London: Audio Guide App

About this experience

Book the London audio guide app and explore the city on your own schedule, with commentary on more than 100 points of interest in your pocket. Instead of following a group, you choose the route, the pace and the stops, from Big Ben and Tower Bridge to the Royal Albert Hall. Each place has up to two minutes of audio, so you get the story without slowing your day down. What the London audio guide covers London is a city made for wandering, and the app gives you context wherever you end up. Follow one of the mapped routes through Westminster and the West End, or simply open the map and see what is near you. Landmarks covered include Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the Royal Albert Hall, along with many more streets, squares, churches and monuments across central London. Because the content is stored on your phone, you can dip in for ten minutes between other plans or spend a whole day ticking off sights. How the London audio guide app works After booking, you receive instructions to activate the app. The easiest way is to scan the QR code in your confirmation with your phone: it opens the app store, downloads the app and logs you in. If you cannot scan a QR code, tap the link below it instead. On a phone, the link installs the app and signs you in, and on a computer it shows your login details and download steps. Download the app and the London content over WiFi before you leave, because the guide works offline once it is on your phone and only uses GPS while you are out exploring. Inside the app you get more than 100 points of interest in London, each with visuals, a written description and audio commentary from local experts. Offline interactive maps and navigation show where you are and suggest routes between stops, but you are free to wander, skip places or come back another day. Commentary is available in English, French, German, Chinese, Spanish and Italian. Join a guided route at Trafalgar Square The app also lets you track the experts leading its guided routes in real time and meet them at one of the listed joining points. You can also meet them at Trafalgar Square, at the Fourth Plinth. The London Landmarks route (Red Loop) leaves at 11:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 15:00, the Royalty and West End route (Blue Loop) at 11:00, 12:00, 13:30, 14:30 and 16:00, and the London Evening route (Purple Loop) at 18:30. If you prefer to go alone, simply follow the map at your own pace. What to bring and what is not included Bring a charged smartphone and your own earphones, as earphones are not supplied. Admission tickets to the places described in the app are not included, so book any museums or attractions you want to enter separately.
