Not the tourist sights — the real London that Diana knew, loved and made her own
Spencer House. Three Royal Palaces. The jeweller where her engagement ring was chosen. The restaurant where she brought young William and Harry for pizzas. The places where she found solace. One of the most expensive streets in the world. A private three-hour walk through the London of the People’s Princess.
Not the tourist highlights — the streets, shops, restaurants and palaces that Diana truly knew
Princess Diana remains one of the most beloved figures in modern history — and London was her city. This private walking tour doesn’t simply take you past the landmarks that appear on tourist maps, but to the actual places that formed the fabric of her life: the family home she came from, the palaces she inhabited, the shops and restaurants she loved, the quiet places she turned to in difficult times, and the memorial that now bears her name in the park she so often walked.
It is an intimate and genuinely moving tour, taking you through some of London’s most beautiful and exclusive neighbourhoods whilst telling the full story of a remarkable woman — as an aristocrat, a princess, a mother, and a global icon whose connection to ordinary people was like nothing the Royal Family had seen before or since.
🏛️
Spencer House — the aristocratic family home she came fromBefore Diana was a princess she was Lady Diana Spencer, daughter of one of England’s oldest aristocratic families. We visit Spencer House — the magnificent London home of the Spencer family — to understand the world she grew up in before the Royal Family entered her life.
💍
The Mayfair jeweller — where the engagement ring was chosenThe exclusive Mayfair shop where Diana’s famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring was purchased — one of the most recognisable pieces of jewellery in the world, now worn by the Princess of Wales. We walk the expensive shopping streets of Mayfair that Diana knew so well.

Where she brought young William and Harry for pizzasOne of the most touching stops on the tour — the restaurant where Diana would bring her young sons William and Harry for pizza. A completely ordinary thing for a completely extraordinary woman who wanted her boys to experience the real world outside palace walls.
🌿
The Diana Memorial Fountain, Café Diana & the Kensington Palace statueThe Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park. The places where she sought solace during the hardest years. One of the most breathtakingly expensive residential streets in the world. Finishing at Café Diana and the recently unveiled statue of Diana in the gardens of Kensington Palace itself.
