London grew out of villages that ran into each other, so no single route holds it all. On a first visit the stretch from Westminster along the Thames to the Tower puts the royal and political landmarks in an order you can plan around. Come back and take a district instead: the lanes of the old City, Bankside and Southwark across the water, Soho and Bloomsbury for music and writers, Greenwich or Hampstead when you want parks and a long view. Ghost walks and hidden-corner routes belong to the older streets after dark.
A free walking tour is free to reserve and tipped at the end, which makes it an easy first morning in a city this size. Booked walks tend to keep the group smaller and hold to a stated theme, so they go deeper rather than sweeping the centre.
A private walk pays off when your group sets the terms: children who need shorter distances between stops, mixed interests in one party, or an afternoon you want spent on literary corners and nothing else. Pace and emphasis are agreed with the guide.
