Every Sunday we'll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it centre stage.
But if you only take one walking tour this week, why not make it...
"The champagne & caviar of London Walks"
10.30 am on Mondays from Green Park Tube Meet on the corner, just outside the north exit
There's no need to book. A London Walk takes about two hours and costs £10 or £8 for concs. Kids under 15 accompanied by their parent[s] go free
Ahhhhh! This Mayfair walk. It's a marriage made in heaven: "the best address in London" and a bon vivant of a guide - a boulevardier and a place where Old Masters and old money, Rolls Royces and glamour, titles and butlers are par for the course. It's hob-nobbing with knobs on it - because Mayfair's been home to Admiral Nelson (and his mistress Lady Emma Hamilton), Clive of India, Disraeli, Handel, Florence Nightingale, Peter Sellers, Jimi Hendrix, Dodi Fayed, and the Earl Mountbatten, to name but a few. And the go figure factor? Try this for size. The parallelogram of purses boasts London's best village within a village: Shepherd Market, a charming little nest of alleys that hasn't lost a jot of its 18th-century scale and village atmosphere, let alone its raffishness. Now, who's for a wee photo essay? Guided by Peter or Richard III.
The Old Mayfair Walk takes place every Monday at 10.30 am and every Thursday at 11 am
Meet Peter or Richard III on the corner just outside the north exit of Green Park Tube.
Guided by Peter or Richard III
