Every Sunday we’ll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it centre 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
7.30 pm on Tuesdays from
St. Paul's Tube exit 2
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
"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 at 7.30 pm every Saturday at 7.30 pm
