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 LITERARY LONDON PUB WALK
7 pm on Wednesdays from HolbornTube
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)
Welcome to Brian's Wednesday evening literary soire! The company's beyond compare: your good selves and the shades of Dickens and Thackeray; Oscar Wilde and G. B. Shaw; Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Circle (who lived in Squares and loved in triangles); George Orwell, W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot. The venue's a moveable feast: a procession of handsome Georgian squares; the humming little warren of streets in the Museum quarter; and a couple of the best old pubs in London. The host's a born raconteur. And depend on it, he'll stir things a bit - tell you a thing or two about the aforementioned - how they were flesh and blood men and women who lived, loved, laughed, caroused, quarrelled and spun "words so nimble, so full of subtle flame..." . (Food is available.) Brian requests the pleasure of your company...
The Literary London Pub Walk takes place every Wednesday evening at 7 pm
Meet Brian just outside the main exit of Holborn Tube.
Holborn Tube is on the Central & Piccadilly Lines

A London Walk costs £10 - £8 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
