Led by a range of tour guides, we host two tours per month – one place-based and one topic-based. Each tour lasts for around 2 hours.
Tickets cost £18, or £14 for concessions excluding VAT (with free tickets for carers and companions).

Place-based tours
Since 2017, NLA has been engaging architecture enthusiasts via collaborations with expert tour guides to explore how the capital’s buildings and streetscapes are changing across London’s distinct areas – each unique in its character and history.
NLA Place-based tours usually take place on the second Wednesday of each month and explore areas including Canary Wharf, Covent Garden, King’s Cross, QEOP, Regent’s Canal, Shoreditch, Bankside and The City of London.
Topic-based Tours (new!)
We’ve recently expanded our topic-based tours, creating further space for even more voices to join in the conversations around the past, present and future of our city.
These tours aim to connect personal and collective narratives with the environments in which they unfold, shedding a light on London’s diverse communities and spreading awareness around underrepresented issues, or on specific challenges facing the built environment sector, such as housing, sustainable materials, and more. Examples of current tours include Queer History, Women in History, Brixton Black History Tour and our Tall Buildings tours.
