About this Event

Every year, between Christmas Day and Twelfth Night, I offer some longer semi-guided walks. These are not tightly-scripted affairs, but friendly gatherings, approx 5 miles long, that include a refreshment stop for lunch. As per my regular walking tours, I'll point out and talk about interesting, quirky and unusual things along the way, and we'll finish our day approx 4pm, probably in a pub. Some people like to stay for the full route, some may wish to leave early making use of the convenient bus routes and stations along the way.

.....................

This route starts a few minutes' walk from Seven Sisters station, Tottenham N15, and takes us down the A10, tracing a Roman road that linked Norfolk to Kent via London Bridge.

There are lots of interesting things to see along the way showing how this important thoroughfare has adapted throughout the centures.

Along the way we will pop in to parks and green spaces including one of London's 'magnificent seven' cemeteries. We will also visit a vibrant street market, see some well-preserved ghostsigns and admire a cross-section of architecture from alms houses to art deco.

One flat fee £15 – no concession rates for these longer walks.
The exact meeting point will be clearly described on your confirmation sent via email immediately after purchase. This info will also be sent in a reminder email the day before the walk
Food and drink is not included in the price. We'll stop at a area where there is plenty of choice for all tastes, but you might prefer to bring a packed lunch.
The walk will end at Shoreditch High Street, a few minutes from Spitalfields, Bishopsgate and Liverpool Street..

Customer feedback: "A fascinating walk with the ever knowledgeable and entertaining / "I love how you point out all the little quirks and make it so much more interesting than other academic-style guides. And you make it fun too. Thanks" / "...so engaging, thanks to your delivery style and obvious thirst for knowledge" / More feedback here

My guiding style is inclusive, open and friendly. I design and research every tour myself – in fact, the research never ends. The walks and talks I offer are all on subjects that intrigue me and each one highlights a different facet of my personality. I am particularly interested in the architecture of our ever-changing streets and the little details on and above them. For more information, please visit www.janeslondonwalks.com
