A Magical Van Gogh Adventure in London
Step into 1873 and Walk in the Footsteps of a Young Van Gogh
Before Vincent Van Gogh became a world-renowned artist, he lived in London—a time he later described as one of the happiest periods of his life. This immersive tour takes you back to the 19th century, following Van Gogh’s daily routine through the streets he once wandered. Discover where he lived, worked, wrote letters to his brother Theo, and even the places where he sought inspiration (and sometimes, trouble).
Highlights:
Explore Covent Garden, a creative hub that captivated Van Gogh in the 19th century.
Visit the courtyard of St. Paul’s Church (the ‘Actors’ Church’), where he lunched among London’s artists.
Hear why Westminster Bridge has always been a magnet for painters.
Walk past the Houses of Parliament, a vision of gothic beauty that inspired generations of artists.
See London’s only legal graffiti tunnel, where modern art thrives today.
Step into the tranquil park where Van Gogh watched cricket matches and listened to the croaking of frogs.
Walk past Van Gogh’s London home, a simple rented house in what was once the rural outskirts.
Take a photo with Van Gogh’s sculpture and reflect on his legacy.
Tour Description:
Once upon a time, Vincent Van Gogh called London home. It was a different city back then—quieter, filled with fog, and a melting pot of artists, poets, and dreamers. Your journey begins in Covent Garden, where Van Gogh worked in an art dealership, surrounded by the energy of London’s creative elite. Strolling through the Strand, you’ll pass historic bookshops where Vincent loved to browse the latest newspapers, inhaling the scent of fresh ink and oil paints.
From there, wander through a lush green park, where Van Gogh spent afternoons watching cricket and soaking in London’s natural beauty. As you follow his footsteps toward Stockwell, where he once lived, imagine a time when this now-busy area was a peaceful rural retreat, full of fields, flowers, and endless inspiration. After snapping a photo outside his former home, your journey ends at a hidden gem—Van Gogh Café, where, over a cup of aromatic cappuccino, you can reflect on the day and the artistic journey of a man who saw the world in swirling colors before anyone else did.
For a few hours, you won’t just admire Van Gogh’s art—you’ll live his London story.
