NEW:
Every Monday we’ll pluck just
one walk from the vast London Walks
repertoire and put it center stage.
You can check out the full schedule at www.walks.com.
But if you only take one walking tour this week, why not make it…
GHOSTS OF THE OLD CITY Tuesdays 7.30pm St paul's Station Exit 2 "How easy it is to awaken the unwanted attention of things that should sleep quietly in their tombs or hiding places" At night the ancient City is deserted... And eerie. Exploring its shadowy back streets and dimly lit alleys we might be in a medieval citadel, in overpowering stone. The very street names – Aldersgate, Cloth Fair, Charterhouse, Threadneedle – take us far back. We're alone... Or are we? For this is the hour when the She Wolf of France glides through the churchyard, the hour when the dark figure on Newgate wall rattles his chains, the hour when the Black Nun keeps her lonely vigil, and something inexpressibly evil lurks behind a tiny window. We're on their trail... Or are they shadowing us? Guided by the Man in Black (the Shadow Walker, Adam, he of the spectral face). The Ghosts of the Old City Walk takes place every Tuesday evening.
7.30 pm on the following Tuesdays: June 5, June 12, June 19, June 26, July 3, July 10, July 17, Sept. 11, Sept. 18, Sept. 25, Oct. 2, Oct. 9, Oct. 16, Oct. 23 & Oct. 30 from St. Paul's Tube exit 2 * OLYMPIC SCHEDULE CHANGE… 7.45 pm on the following Tuesdays: July 24, July 31, Aug. 7, Aug. 14, Aug. 21, Aug. 28 & Sept. 4 from the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral (near the Queen Anne statue).
