The Walks

Three routes through
three sacred quarters.

Westminster, the City of London, and Bankside — each told from outside the buildings, each three hours long, each shaped to be walked at a humane pace.

Pick the walk by the part of London you'd like to understand. All three meet at a clearly named landmark, run for three hours including two unhurried sit-downs, and finish near a Tube station. Cost is the same across the three routes; we send a quote within a working day of your enquiry.

Walk One

The Westminster Sacred Mile

From Parliament Square to the Abbey forecourt, by way of St Margaret's, the Jewel Tower and Methodist Central Hall — the parish that crowns kings and buries poets, walked along its outer edge.

St Paul's Cathedral dome glimpsed between Wren church spires across the City of London.
Walk Two

City Spires & Cloisters

St Paul's, Temple Church, St Bride's of Fleet Street, and a chosen handful of Wren's surviving City churches — the parish map of London redrawn in stone after the Great Fire of 1666.

3 hours·Mornings & afternoons·Meets: Paternoster Square
Southwark Cathedral seen from Borough Market on a bright morning.
Walk Three

The Southwark Pilgrim's Path

From the Cathedral to Crossbones Garden, by way of Borough Market, the lost site of the Tabard Inn, and the spot where Chaucer's pilgrims set out for Canterbury — Bankside as it prayed, sang, and broke the rules.

3 hours·Mornings & afternoons·Meets: London Bridge station

Bespoke commissions

A walk built around your group.

Schools, choirs, alumni groups, parish pilgrimages, friends of an English cathedral back home — write to us with the question your group came to London with, and we'll build a route around it. Our bespoke walks have run for as few as four guests and as many as thirty (split across two guides).
