Wednesday Walks

AUGUST - OCTOBER, 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!

Americans in London

Flag

Your guide: Rhona Levene (rhona@walksroundlondon.co.uk)

Meeting Point: Green Park tube station, Stratton Street exit 

We hear all the time about the 'special relationship' between the UK and the USA. On this walk Rhona will point out the special places which tell that story. You'll hear about the man who changed how we shop in this country and we'll see where his infamous parties were held. We will, of course, visit the area once known as Little America to bring everything up to date.


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

Modern Pilgrims/Secular Saints

Westminster Abbey

Your guide: Jenny Rossiter (jenny.rossiter@googlemail.com)

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.
