Mary Poppins Walking Tour of London

As it has always been, the health & safety of our guests and team members remains our highest priority. We are doing everything we can to ensure you travel safety and provide maximum flexibility as the situation around Covid-19 continues to evolve. We have officially been given the green light and Good to Go accreditation by Visit Britain & Visit England, so we can now operate safely keeping you & our team healthy throughout. WE have a detailed plan to do so, issued below:

Brit Movie Tours recognises their responsibility to ensure that staff & suppliers (as well as guests) comply with health & safety legislation and maximise the safety of our clients & staff in relation to Covid-19.

In brief, we are making sure that all vehicles are cleaned to the highest standards, that all staff are trained (and re-trained when emerging or evolving information determines) and are provided with the right knowledge and equipment to carry out their duties effectively. Our new protocols to keep you healthy during our tours include:

• Flexible booking options
• Full internal sanitation/cleaning of all coach and taxi vehicles used on our tours
• Social distancing rules & guidelines for walking tours
• Complete staff & guide training to implement new protocols
• Guides will ensure they are familiar with the most up-to-date public health guidelines and will adhere to these for the duration of the tour.
• Guides will maintain government-recommended social distancing between themselves and clients at all times. On tours where the group includes different households, guides will encourage and help clients to adopt appropriate social distancing between each other too.
• When guiding groups from different households, guides will follow government guidance to determine the maximum possible group size.
• Guides will avoid shaking hands or any other physical contact with clients.
• Guides will apply rigorous hygiene practices, including thoroughly cleaning and waiting for hands to dry before guiding, and use a personal hand sanitiser when this is not possible.
• If requested, guides will consider wearing a mask or visor.
• Guides will know where public toilets/hand-washing facilities/hand sanitiser points are available.
• Guides will ensure they are fully aware of sites’ visited on tour and any specific Covid-19 requirements and comply with them.
• Guides will be familiar with more crowded areas and will make best efforts to negotiate them, or if appropriate, avoid them.
• Where appropriate, guides will liaise with coach companies and private vehicle companies and drivers to ensure vehicles have been thoroughly sanitised.

The result is a sanitised attraction but certainly not a sanitised experience! You are here to enjoy our fabulous tours, discover new places & experience an authentic destination. We believe that our new introductions to hygiene/cleaning will allow you to enjoy your visit to the full.

We feel it vitally important to have a strict cleaning protocol in place and that this is transparent.

The classic 1964 film starred Julie Andrews as the Nanny and Dick van Dyke as Bert the chimney sweep. The film was adapted from the children’s stories by author P. L. Travers.

Join other Poppins fans and learn about everyone’s favourite nanny. Learn how the films were made and the background to the books. Test out your Mary Poppins knowledge too. Can you speak Leery? You’ll get to learn a few catchphrases from the film to try out when you go home.

On the Mary Poppins tour, you will see where Mary Poppins Returns was filmed. The tour includes scenes from the catchy and energetic “Trip a Little Light Fantastic”. As this is the sequel to the iconic Disney film “Mary Poppins” you will also visit the now-famous corner steps where the bird lady sits. Although she may not be there,  you can hum “Feed The Birds” to yourself and snap a few photos, too.

No tour about a flying nanny would be complete without a trip to the rooftops of London. Grab a lift to capture some stunning views of St Paul’s Cathedral. You will end our tour at the bank, of course, where Jane and Michael flew their kite up to the windows to save No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane.

The 2-hour walking tour includes many of the film locations and inspirations from the film Mary Poppins Returns. Inspirational locations from the books including the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange and the sites used for the streets of London.

The Mary Poppins Tour is the most practically perfect way to see London and the locations used in the new Mary Poppins Returns movie starring Emily Blunt as the world-famous nanny.

As you walk, 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.
