The questions
walkers ask first.

Send us your preferred date, group size, and which of the three walks you're interested in. We'll come back within one working day with availability, the guide we'd assign, and a quote. Once you confirm, we hold the date for ten days while you arrange payment.

The published walks (Westminster, City, Southwark) start at £55 per walker, with a minimum group fee of £220 for groups of fewer than four. Bespoke private commissions and educational groups are quoted individually. We don't print fixed prices because we'd rather speak to you about your group than overcharge a smaller party.

Yes. After you confirm a date, we send a secure payment link via Stripe. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and UK bank transfer. Schools and registered charities may settle by 30-day invoice on request.

Full refund up to 14 days before the walk. 50% refund up to 72 hours before. After that we're unable to refund, but we will happily reschedule once at no charge. If we have to cancel a walk for weather or guide illness, you'll receive a full refund or a free re-booking, whichever you prefer.

Comfortable shoes, layers, a waterproof outer if rain is forecast. We walk in light rain and reschedule only for severe weather. A small bottle of water is wise. We provide a printed pocket-map and a folding rain-cover for the map.

We walk. London weather is what it is, and the routes were designed with covered stops along the way. We will only postpone a walk for severe weather (high winds above 50 mph, lightning, ice). The decision is the lead guide's, taken at 07:00 on the morning of the walk for morning departures.

Ten minutes before the meeting time is generous. Your guide will be holding a small printed sign with our company name and a discreet gold ribbon. They'll know who you are because we'll have your booking name to hand.

Yes — from age twelve, and accompanied by a paying adult. Three hours is a long stretch for younger children and the historical content is pitched for teenagers and older. School groups (KS3 and up) are welcome under our schools programme; please write to us with the year group and learning objectives.

The Westminster route is fully step-free. The City and Southwark routes each have one short cobbled stretch with a step-free alternative your guide will use if needed. We can supply a portable hearing-loop and large-print pocket-maps; please tell us in advance. If you have a specific access requirement, write to us — we'd rather adjust the route than say no.

Three reasons, in short. The buildings have their own visitor programmes and we'd rather not duplicate or undercut them. The story of London's sacred quarters lives as much in the streets and graveyards as in the naves. And the great churches are working churches with services, prayer and pastoral life going on inside — we don't want a paying tour group to be the loudest thing in any of them.

Not by us. But we are very happy to suggest the right time to enter under the building's own visitor scheme — the Abbey at quarter-to-Evensong, St Paul's at the early hour before the queue, Southwark Cathedral on a Tuesday morning. Your reading list, sent the week before, will include these notes.

The walks are about religion in a city, not religious in the sense of asking anything of you. We have walked with members of every faith and of none. One of our guides is a retired Anglican priest; another is doing a doctorate in comparative religion at SOAS. The tone is curious, not devotional.

Two walkers. The minimum group fee of £220 still applies, but we are happy to run for two. We have run twenty-three walks in the last decade for couples on honeymoon.

Yes — this is a meaningful part of what we do. Schools, choirs, parish pilgrimages, alumni groups, private parties up to thirty (split across two guides). Tell us what your group is interested in and we'll build the route. Lead time of three weeks is ideal; we can sometimes do less.
