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…
Thames Beachcombing
Saturday 4th June 9:00a.m meet at mansion House tube
Beachcombing on the
Thames with an archaeologist. It's 10,000 years of history beneath your feet!
It's the best possible London souvenir in your pocket - a piece of genuine
London history - a mediaeval roof tile (they make perfect candle holders - do
dinner party conversation pieces come any better?), an Elizabethan clay pipe,
or, if you're lucky something Roman. Or - yes, this has happened - something
older, something Mesolithic! Guided by Greer. Oh and do wear sensible shoes.
N.B. the walk takes about two hours and ends on the stretch of the foreshore in
front of the Tate Modern, just over the river from Mansion House Tube and
Blackfriars Tube.
Your guide…
Fiona H.
Fiona H. conducts our Thames beachcombing walks. An
Inter-tidal Aracheologist (and Archaeological illustrator), she's a leading
authority on the Thames foreshore. (She's also excavated in many near Eastern
and central European countries. Given papers all over the world...well, you get
the idea.) And she's a Super Mum - six children! In her "spare" time
she spins.
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.
