London Audio Tours With Soundmap
Posted by Ruth Miller on Mon 19th May 2008 at 11:27 AM, Filed in Travel News
London has such a wealth of history and things to do, that it can become a little bewildering for visitors. Even for seasoned Londoners like myself, it’s always surprising how little we actually know about this great city.
Soundmap offers a solution. With five different self guided audiowalks you can spend an hour touring the streets of London with music, sound affects and helpful narration ringing in your ears.
Soundmap say:
“Let Irma Kurtz guide you around the streets of Soho, make Max Decarne your guide to the King’s Road, bring Alex Wheatle along as you amble around Brixton, relish Robert Elms’ anecdotes about Camden Town or bring out the best in Brick Lane with Soundmap’s newest addition to the collection - narrated by Tarquin Hall.
Alternatively, why not follow the blood-soaked trail of Sweeney Todd around the streets where his legend was born in this gripping new audiowalk created in partnership with Warner Brothers. The walk features music from the film, audio clips and an exclusive interview with the film’s director, Tim Burton.”
The walks cost just £5.99 per downloadable MP3 tour (can be downloaded onto a CD as well) and make great-value gifts for Londoners and visitors alike - simply pop on a pair of earphones in at the start of the walk (map provided) and let the narrator do the rest.
In June, Soundmap are launching audio-players with pre-recorded walks that will be available for purchase through the website as an alternative to the downloads.
