Monday is mute
on the London Walks
Blog (well, almost mute) – because Monday – Tuesday for Christmas! – is the day when we post
five – twelve for Christmas! –images captured in and around London by London Walks Guides, London Walkers
and Facebook friends. Collated on a theme or an area, if you've got some great
shots of our capital and want to join in send your pictures to the usual
address.
We're playing fast and loose with the Twelve Days of Christmas…
PEAR TREE Court in Clerkenwell
Short of TURTLE DOVES in our old town, how about a grubby Cockney pigeon instead?
We're pretty sure that's a FRENCH HEN on this pub at Haverstock Hill
What is a COLLY BIRD anyhoo? Will a Kensington Flamingo suffice?
Three Olympic Games, more than any other city. Worthy of FIVE GIOLD RINGS we'd say
North London GEESE at Waterlow Park
SWANS by the river (oh, and a large Canary behind)
MAIDS A MILKING at Holborn?
LADIES DANCING at Wembley
They're from Westminster, they may well be LORDS and they're definitely A-LEAPING
PIPES are outlawed on the Underground, even if you are Sherlock Holmes at Baker Street
Of all the DRUMMERS DRUMMING we know of only one with a plaque – Keith Moon at the old Marquee Club on Wardour Street
A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
