London's iconic buildings and views are getting a whole new green spin thanks to Catherine Baker and her innovative new Green London Urban Eco Tour, which launched just this month.

The tour takes you to the major hot spots of London - from Trafalgar Square to Westminster Abbey to the Cabinet War Rooms - but the twist is the great green information you receive that you won't get on any other tour.

With both hidden gem eco-sites of London and the major iconic buildings as the backdrop, Catherine Baker explains everything you want to know about carbon, climate change, eco-activism, and how it all is affected by and will affect the sights you're seeing.

You learn what one ton of carbon dioxide looks like while standing next to a hidden gem of an organic garden in St. James Park. You learn what impact banking institutions have on global climate change while standing next to Barclay's Bank and passing by Westminster Abbey. Curious about how rising tides will affect the geography of London? Learn all about it while walking along the Thames.

This tour is truly eye-opening - you see the beauty of the city while gaining a whole new perspective about the impact our current day actions are making on the long history of London.

Check out Green London to book a tour with Catherine for your next visit to London.
