Guided walks through the City
of London and Westminster
London
City Walks: March to September 2010
London
City Walks is a partnership set up by Pete Smith and Frances Spackman.
Both are former university teachers and qualified and experienced City
of
London and
City of Westminster
guides.
In
addition to
these advertised walks, we are happy to organize
‘bespoke’ walks for individuals and parties. Just
contact us with your
requirements or with suggestions for additions to our regular
programme. All our walks end within easy reach of public transport and
close to at least one good pub!
A
core
programme of walks for 2010 has been devised in conjunction
with
the church of All Hallows by the Tower, the oldest church in the City,
which is, as its name suggests, situated next to the Tower of London in
Byward Street (nearest underground station Tower Hill on the Circle and
District Lines). Many of the walks begin and end at the
church,
and
all of these City walks draw upon the rich diversity of the City of
London, to give old
hands and newcomers alike an introduction to the oddities and
complexities of the Square Mile and its history from the first Roman
occupation in AD43 to the twenty-first century. In the City of
Westminster, our walks range from “Mayday in Mayfair to
“City of Vice: Covent Garden”.
For our 2010
season, we are
introducing eight new walks. In response to suggestions from
a
number of our walkers, we are continuing to offer more weekend walks,
including regular themed walks from St. Paul’s Cathedral on
the
first Sunday of every month..
Listed
below are all our scheduled events until the end of
September. A
full list of all the walking tours in our current repertoire can be
found on our Walks page. Unless otherwise stated, the charge
for
all walks is £6.00 per person.
