BRING YOUR BABY GUIDED WALK: Nursery Rhymes London: Tudors Trials & Torture

'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.

**You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.**

🎃 A very special edition of our most popular walk, Nursery Rhymes London: Tudors, Trials & Torture! With the addition of some (more) spooky stories which stem from locations we visit during our walk. On this occasion you can expect your nursery rhymes to be interspersed with tales of ghosts and witches... and the walk has been extended by half an hour to make room for them. 🎃

Please note: Excitingly our founder Lucy has decided - because Halloween is her favourite time of year - to make this the first walk she guides after finishing chemotherapy. She's feeling fine and dandy, but may have to use her mobility scooter as she's still building up her physical energy levels. She will be just as energetic as usual verbally! We hope you understand and don't mind an extra set of wheels to accompany your buggies :)

Walk starts: Outside 'The Blackfriar' pub, 174 Queen Victoria St, London EC4V 4EG

Walk ends: Charterhouse Square, Barbican, London EC1M 6AN

We will stop halfway at Paternoster Square for lunch/coffee and baby change where there are many food and drink outlets. During this time you will be given an hour to have lunch and feed and change baby before meeting Lucy back at The Temple Bar in Paternoster Square (she'll show you where this is).

Baby changes in:

• Public toilets in Paternoster Square
• Pret a Manger, Paternoster Square
• Starbucks, Paternoster Square
• and undoubtedly many more.

If on the day of the walk we are forecast to have very bad weather, I may have to postpone the walk. If it's a bit of light rain we will cope!

Every walk follows the usual health and safety guidelines, such as crossing at traffic lights where possible and having hazards pointed out to you at the start and along the route.

There may be times we have to stand in direct sunlight (although I will always choose shade where possible). Please bring all the necessary sun protection for yourself and your child.

It is recommended you bring appropriate drinks and snacks for the duration of the walk.

I will contact you with booking confirmation after you book. I will supply my mobile number in case of emergencies or in case you are running late. I will also ask you to provide me with a mobile number so you can be contacted before, during or after the walk, but this is *not for marketing purposes*.

If you like the look of any of my walks, but would prefer to book me privately, please make enquiries at [email protected]. This may particularly be the case if you have people interested who do not have babies.

Important notes about booking:

- Please feel free to invite baby-free friends.

- Children are the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and must be monitored by them at all times.
