Wednesday Walks

FEBRUARY - MARCH, 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!
