Insider tips

★Book for dusk departure (around 5–7 PM depending on season) to catch the transition from daylight to full darkness—the best photography window
★Bring a camera with a good zoom; you'll be viewing landmarks from a distance via coach, so telephoto lenses work better than wide angles
★Dress warmly even in summer; evening London can be brisk, especially when moving between outdoor stops

Good to know

•Private tour means you and your group have dedicated transport and guide—no sharing with other tourists
•Tour is primarily coach-based; most viewing is from the vehicle or brief stops, not extended walking
•Exact pickup location and meeting time will be confirmed by supplier after booking
