Bring Your Baby Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history.About this Event
Walk starts: Meet in Bell Yard (where Mrs Lovett made her famous pies!), next to The Old Bank of England pub, 194 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2LT
Walk ends: Back near the start point.
We have a stop for coffee/lunch/baby change at Leon on Ludgate Circus where there is a baby change. You are not obligated to eat here and I will tell you exactly what time to meet back outside Leon if you choose to eat somewhere else.
'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. 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.
What you'll see and hear about on this walk:
- St. Bride's Church, with a sinister connection to the founding of Virginia in America and a series of 'American Horror Story', a memorial to a Jack the Ripper victim, and where thousands of bodies were found sealed up in the walls...
- The ancient Inner Temple and Middle Temple courts and passages, including the 12th century Temple Church of the Knights Templar - with connections to satanic rituals, 'The Da Vinci Code' and the ghost of writer Oliver Goldsmith!
- Atmospheric and otherworldly lanes, courtyards and alleyways that were literary and cinematic locations for Charles Dickens, Harry Potter and 'Harlots'.
- Site of 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street' Sweeney Todd's shop on Fleet Street and where Mrs Lovett made her famous ‘meat’ pies!
- A grisly M**der carried out by vicious Elizabeth Brownrigg.
- Dictionary writer Dr Johnson's house, and his connection to the ghost of 'Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane'!
- The ghost of 'Hanging' Judge Jefferies, who still walks the Temple Inns of Court.
And 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!
If I feel unwell, I will cancel the tour. And if you or anyone in your household is unwell in the days or hours before the tour, it is imperative that you should not join us.
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.
