Walk of the Week: Legal & Illegal London

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…

LEGAL & ILLEGAL LONDON The Inns of Court

11 am on Wednesdays from Holborn Tube outside the main exit – the Kingsway 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)

The Inns of Court – habitat of the wigged and gowned English barrister – could pass for a collection of Oxford and Cambridge colleges right in the heart of London. They're a warren of cloisters, courtyards, and passageways set amongst some of the best gardens in London. So: ancient rites and customs, high drama, colourful characters, and matters of life and death amid delightful surroundings. It's a rich confection, making this the prettiest and most historical of our central London walks. Now as for what you'll see – well, this brief photo essay will give you a taste.

LEGAL & ILLEGAL LONDON – The Inns of Court walk takes place every  Wednesday morning at 11 am, every  Friday afternoon at 2 pm and every Monday afternoon at 2 pm 

The meeting point is just outside the main exit of Holborn Tube

Here's a quick what-do-we-see clip of the tour shot by David Tucker…

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.
