“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.”

“You’ve heard of star tours where tourists see where the rich and famous live. One London group has come up with a grisly twist on the idea. Their Sweeney Todd “audiowalk”, takes fans on a ghoulish trek through the Fleet Street area.”

Evening Standard

Produced by Soundmap and commissioned by Warner Bros, the guide brings the capital’s spicier side to life with soundtrack songs, narration and an interview with Tim Burton himself.”

“This is a really well produced, fun and fascinating audiowalk that's a great appetiser for the film and probably a great add on to it too.”

“Even seasoned Londoners like learning more about their home city. We're proof - we put out our own walks. So we were very excited to find out about the clever people at Soundmap. Imagine finding this on your iPod on boring old Boxing Day when you can't face the sales. Magic. For the person who has everything, this just might make their Christmas.”
