Please note: The 'Jewels of the East' walk will not run on
Thursday 2nd October, but will continue on all other Thursdays.
The '4 Bridges of the City' walk has now finished.
From Tuesday 7th October 2008 and then every Tuesday we
are pleased to present a brand new walk called:
'Through the Time Tunnel: A Retrograde Ramble'.
This aims to present the entire history of the City of London
backwards! ie: We travel through time from the present day,
counting back through 20 centuries. The exciting route
includes the old Royal Mint buildings, wool warehouses in
Whitechapel, the operation of the East India Company, the
beginnings of the Livery Guilds and the remains of the
numerous monasteries around the City. The final part of this
walk incorporates the hidden remains of Roman Londinium,
located under the modern city.
'Through the Time Tunnel' starts at 1.30pm at the giant
sundial above Tower Hill tube station on Tuesday 7th October
2008 and every Tuesday after that. (Please see 'Time Tunnel'
page).
Now running every Thursday, we are pleased to present the
new 'Jewels of the East' walk which starts at 1.30pm at Mile
End tube station. (please see 'Jewels of the East' web page).
Our 'Hidden Gardens' walk has recently been featured in an
article on: artslondonnews.co.uk (Please see the 'Contact
Us' page for a direct link).
The walk called 'Brave New World-the Docklands Explorer'
now runs every Friday at 1.30pm. This truly thrilling walk
starts at Tower Hill and heads out east via St. Katherine's
Dock and the most amazing hidden trail of peaceful
ornamental canals and redeveloped dock basins, to arrive at
Canary Wharf by 3.30pm. Almost the entire route is along
waterways and the Thames Path. Many pleasant surprises lie
along the way! (Please see 'Docklands' page).
Now running every Wednesday, don't miss our popular gardens
walk:
'Hidden Gardens of the City' (Wednesdays)
From sunken gardens and hidden courtyards to a rooftop oasis
in the sky, this walk will explore the little 'green islands' in a
sea of stone, glass and steel. The walk includes water features
and fountains. (Please see 'Hidden Gardens' page).
