Grab your parrot-handled umbrella and step out for a simply smashing adventure on our Mary Poppins Walking Tour of London, beginning at Cannon Street Station for a most delightful jolly holiday. From the very first step, you’ll trip the light fantastic on a magical, fun-packed journey through the streets and landmarks that helped bring the world of Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Returns to life.
The beloved 1964 film starred Julie Andrews as the practically perfect nanny and Dick Van Dyke as Bert, the cheerful chimney sweep. Adapted from the wonderful children’s stories by P. L. Travers, Mary Poppins has been enchanting audiences for generations and remains an absolute box office triumph. On this small-group walking tour, you’ll join fellow Poppins fans to learn more about the films, the books, and the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that helped create this timeless classic Disney film.
Along the way, you’ll test your Mary Poppins knowledge – can you speak a little Leery? You’ll even pick up a few splendid catchphrases from the Poppins universe to share when you return home, perhaps sounding a bit like Admiral Boom spotting a storm on the horizon!
As you explore the City of London, you’ll visit filming locations from Mary Poppins Returns, including spots featured in the energetic musical number “Trip a Little Light Fantastic.” You’ll also make your way to the famous corner steps of St Paul’s Cathedral where the Bird Woman sits. Though she may not be there today, you can still hum “Feed The Birds” and snap a perfectly magical photo.
No Mary Poppins tour would be complete without a rooftop view. Part way through the tour, you’ll take a lift for breathtaking views across London, including St Paul’s Cathedral, just as Bert once saw it. You’ll also explore inspirational settings from the books, including the Bank of England – where George Banks himself walked the solemn halls –and the Royal Exchange where Jane and Michael flew their kite up to the windows to save No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane.
Your 2-hour journey through fiction and reality will conclude in the wonderfully atmospheric location of Topsy’s shop in Covent Garden — a hidden, old-world alleyway that feels as though it has stepped right out of a storybook. It’s the practically perfect place to end your magical adventure and continue exploring London’s theatre and entertainment district.
Suitable for little legs and pram-friendly, this tour is ideal for anyone who loves to laugh, imagine, and believe in a little everyday magic. If Mary Poppins is your cup of tea, then this enchanting London walking tour is, most indubitably, for you.
You’ll also get to see many other familiar landmarks along the way. Your tour guide will point out some historic locations and provide additional information. This is a practically perfect mix of fiction and reality. Make sure you order your Mary Poppins Parrot Umbrella before the tour.
