Themed walking tours in the City of London...

Here are some of my themed walks. They cover diverse aspects of the City of London  and combine both well known sites with some that are not so well known. For a more general type of tour try my City Highlights walk.
I hope you find something of interest to you here and will hopefully come along to see them up close. Please remember that if there are any special places you would like to see in the City I can plan a walking tour to your specifications.
I will need advance notice to plan this. Please contact me for details.

Wren Churches - Meet at Bank station
 £7.00 per person

Before the Great Fire of London, which destroyed most of the City in 1666, there were 133 parishes in the City. Each had its own parish church. Religion was extremely important to the people who lived and worked in the Square Mile and the church was an essensial part of their lives.
After the fire, eighty eight of these churches had been destroyed. Sir Christopher Wren's office was given the task of rebuilding fifty two, including Saint Paul's. Wren was almost 80 when the last stone was laid.
Now there are just over twenty of his churches left and this walk will show you most of them. Please be aware that the tour only covers the church exteriors.

Green lungs of the City - Meet at Liverpool St.
£7.00 per person.

There are over 150 open spaces in the City of London. Some are paved but most are green and planted, all cared for and maintained by the Corporation’s own gardening department. Many are hidden away or created from old churchyards.
Because the City has it’s own micro-climate due to the heat generated from the buildings and underground railway, it is able to support some exotic species of plant life and trees. These tranquil gardens provide an oasis for City workers away from the traffic and crowded streets. Many have their own history attached as well as some odd features.
