About this Event

A curious wander through the City

This walk need not cost you a penny, however an optional gratuity would be very welcome.

Ever wonder why we say ‘at sixes and sevens? and what are those badges on the lampposts outside the Royal Exchange? Why are there no roads in the City of London? Yet the streets have some very interesting names: Love Lane anybody!

We are taking a curious wander along the environs of Cheapside, why Cheap? keeping an eye out for Honey Bees, Maidens and descriptive street signs

Once you have experienced your walk you will be able to say you have:

Discovered the origins of many expressions

Spotted a demi-maiden

Walked an Anglo-Saxon Street plan

And so much more!

Meet outside Royal Exchange facing Bank junction
