The Historic Gardens tour, with an introduction by BBC's celebrity gardener Diarmuid Gavin, takes visitors to some of the city's hidden gardens and garden museums. The audio tour relates intriguing tales of how our everyday household plants arrived in Britain and reveals a few surprising secrets along the way, such as the herb that sent Shakespeare's Juliet to sleep and which fruit caused the Mutiny on the Bounty!

The Literary Houses tour visits the London homes of famous writers where some of the greatest poems and novels in the English language were written. Listeners to the audio tour will learn the deeply tragic story that unfolded in the poet Keats' house but also get to join London's Victorian Creatives at major landmarks such as Thomas Carlyle's house in Chelsea.

About Discover London:

The 'Discover London' trails experience is an initiative by The Mayor's Office and Campaign for Museums during the nationwide Museums & Galleries Month event. Londoners and the capital's cultural tourists alike will be able to listen to these audio tours on their own MP3 players such as iPods, PDAs, Smartphones or computers after downloading them, free of charge.

About Antenna Audio's Download Tours

Downloadable audio tours mark the beginning of a significant departure in the normal run of audio tour business for the company, the well-established leader in its field. Antenna Audio's Chief Executive, Andrew Nugée, comments:

Antenna Audio is developing further tours of London to launch in June with the opening of Audible.com's UK operations, and this will be followed by city tours of San Francisco and Chicago's Millennium Park. Download tours are ideal for day trippers and longer-stay tourists, and can increase access to local heritage for people with mobility difficulties.
