Every Sunday 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…
TARDIS ON THAMES – Doctor Who by the River
2:30p.m Westminster tube (exit 4) Sunday 14th February 2016
Join us on an intergalactic journey without leaving
the banks of the Thames never mind the planet! “Tardis on Thames – Doctor Who
by The River” allows you to walk in the footsteps of various Doctors,
Assistants and even Cybermen! See where the Daleks attempted to take over the
earth in 1964, stand at the very spot where the Doctor and Rose sealed their
friendship in 2005. Help to crack the code troubling one William Shakespeare at
the historic Globe Theatre. This fun, family-focussed walk takes us through
some of the iconic moments in Doctor Who history whilst at the same time taking
in some of the most iconic landmarks in the capital. Just how did The London
Eye help save the world? How did the Ogrons walk the Southbank without being
noticed? We even come to face to face with the Doctor's greatest enemy of all –
ITV! Join actor, writer and Doctor Who aficionado Jolyon as he guides you
through the thrills and spills of the cosmos wearing a long scarf and packing
at least two packets of jelly babies – would you like one?
To go on the Tardis on Thames – Doctor Who by the
River walk meet Jolyon* – he of the long scarf – just outside exit 4 of
Westminster Tube on Sunday 14th February 2016.
The walk takes about two hours and ends at the Tooley
Street entrance of London Bridge Tube.
*Comes the walk, comes the guide. Jolyon's a National
Theatre and West End actor (let alone a plunged-into-the-hilt Doctor Who
aficionado – he's the author, for heaven's sakes, of Was Conceived in a Dalek)
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.
