Wednesday Walks

MARCH - APRIL, 2026

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, 5TH MARCH, 2026 11:00 AM (£15)

Dalston

Your guide: Jenni Bowley (jenni@bowley.net)

Meeting point: Dalston Junction Station (Windrush line) between the exits

Now known for its music, markets and night-life, Dalston is a vibrant, multi-cultural area in east London. Its fascinating history includes medieval settlements beside a Roman road; a leper hospital and market gardens; a German hospital and anti-fascist rallies. Join Jenni to find out the stories behind the listed buildings and modern facades and to hear about the contribution of clowns, music hall stars, reggae and punk to life in this corner of Hackney.

WEDNESDAY, 1ST APRIL, 2026 11:00 AM (£15)

Kilburn

Your guide: Rhona Levene (rhona@walksroundlondon.com)

Meeting point: Kilburn (Jubilee line) tube station

Once called County Kilburn, Rhona will lead you through Kilburn with its art, music, cinema and shopping history. The architecture will stun you, the stories amaze you and the diversity will intrigue you. As we walk along the old Watling Street you will hear tales of former residents from the world of literature, pub landlords and landladies with fascinating stories. The politics of the area has a tale to tell too. One extraordinary part of Kilburn's history is when Kilburn rivalled Hampstead as the "spa town". So many tales to tell hopefully two hours will be sufficient time! The walk will end near Kilburn Park (Bakerloo line) tube station.
