Wednesday Walks

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER, 2025

Join us on the first Wednesday of each month where we will introduce you to hidden corners of London and tell you some of London's best stories.

There is no need to book for these tours, just turn up and pay the guide £15 on the day.  It would, however, help the guide if you could email in advance if you expect to attend - also let us know if you change your mind!

WEDNESDAY, 1ST OCTOBER, 2025 11:00 AM (£15)

Meeting Point: Outside the West Door of Westminster Abbey

This walk from Westminster Abbey to St George's Catholic Cathedral in Southwark is about contemporary people who have changed the world for the better. We start at the west door of the Abbey where there are ten statues of men and women from the 20th century who have died for their beliefs while defending the rights of others. On the south side of the Thames we will hear the story behind the Covid Wall. On a slight tangent, we will see where dead people took their last journey to their final resting place.

From Shakespeare to Dan Brown – A Literary Walk Along the Strand

Your Guide: Elaine Wein (elaineguide1@gmail.com)

Starting at the Embankment we will hear about a wide range of authors from Charles Dickens to Dan Brown, with a little Oscar Wilde and Edgar Wallace thrown in! Hear about the Royal Society of Literature, the man that created the dictionary and walk through the Inns of Court and see one of most picturesque parts of London and see where Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night was premiered and where Tom Hanks filmed. The walk will finish at Temple Tube Station.

Meeting Point: Embankment Tube – Villiers Street Exit
