CITY OF LONDON GUIDED WALKS AND TALKS

               

Do you want to know what makes London one of the world’s great cities?   Join a LONDON FOOTSTEPS walk and discover more about its rich and fascinating history.

The City of London has mystery and intrigue, heritage and tradition and times of triumph and tragedy.

Wander along the busy streets, through narrow passages and quiet alleyways, discover the gardens and green spaces or step inside to experience the peace and quiet of a centuries-old church. That is the way to see and learn about the LONDON experience.

LONDON FOOTSTEPS is all about making that experience a lasting memory. Whether you’re on holiday from abroad, on a business trip, a day visit or a group outing, a walking tour of the capital will be enthralling, surprising and informative.

LONDON FOOTSTEPS provides informal and friendly walks. In two hours your route will cover almost 2,000 years of history.  By the time it ends you will understand why London is such an extraordinary city and can provide memorable moments and leave a lasting impression.

What London Footsteps offer

Our walks and talks are designed for those who appreciate the history of London but don’t want to be overwhelmed by dates, kings, queens, battles or events that might be just too much to absorb in a maximum of two hours!

 
GUIDED WALKS

You are invited to participate in any one of our public walks, or you can get in touch and ask us to arrange a bespoke walk for you.  We are happy to build something that suits your specific needs.  Well suited to senior and retired walkers!

 
INFORMATIVE TALKS

Our talks incorporate images and visual links to give audiences a full yet interesting historical experience. Clubs and societies know that it will be a compelling 45-60 minutes and audiences go away with stories and anecdotes about why London continues to be such a fascinating and influential city.

Loved “Fire and Plague”.  It’s our 3rd London Footsteps walk and it won’t be the last.  Brilliant value.  Looking forward to the next one.
