About this activity

See the British capital through the eyes of movie director Alfred Hitchcock on this 11am daily 3-hour London walking tour. Follow a guide through the streets and alleys of London, and discover sites made famous in Hitchcock movies including ‘Frenzy’, ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’, and ‘The Paradine Case’. Hear how and why Hitchcock used the sites he did, and gain insight into the mind of one of cinema’s brightest directorial lights.
