London Now heritage events, 3D scenes from the past, and a free Black History Month walk on Black resistance in Camden. Hear Bow Street free from anywhere.
Tour London at your own pace. Wanderwalk turns the city into a hands-free audio guide: as you walk, GPS plays short, true stories about the exact spot you're passing.
There's no group to keep up with and no umbrella to follow. Put your headphones in and find the plague pits, hidden courtyards, lost rivers and back-room scandals most people walk straight past.
Every story is source-backed and written in a proper editorial voice.

Accessibility
Wanderwalk is audio-first by design. Full stories come with a full transcript and source links. Locked story previews show the first half of the transcript. The app supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. If you are blind or partially sighted, you can explore the city by ear.
Before you set off
Wanderwalk is not a navigation app and does not give turn-by-turn directions. It tells stories along the walk you're already taking. Audio streams the first time you play a story, so you need a connection for your first listen.
Subscription and passes
Annual is an auto-renewing subscription. The 3-Day Pass and 7-Day Pass are one-time, non-renewing purchases. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel at any time in your App Store account settings.
