A series of walks examining events, moments in a cities history, the stories, people from London’s past
Running throughout the year, my guided walking tours offer a glimpse into the history of London’s finest and most interesting neighbourhoods, from royal palaces and gorgeous squares, to tales of radicals and rebels. Uncovering the rascals and the saints, each walk reveals the fascinating everyday lives of Londoners through the ages. Lace up your walking shoes and book any of the tours below for an unforgettable London experience and a glimpse into the city’s rich and diverse history.
In winter time, the walks slow a little, I will post available ones as and when they become available, otherwise I will see you early Spring when a full catalogue is available.
