Footprints of London is a new development in guided walks. It offers a fresh and vibrant series of tours researched and delivered by enthusiastic, talented, independent and qualified guides. We’re a little different to other operations in that all our walks are only bookable through the internet. This enables us to limit numbers, so you will never join a group with too many people – enabling us to navigate some of the lesser known byways in our travels.
Our guides offer a wide range of tours, covering special themes allowing you to enjoy the less visited areas of London. We also visit the major tourist areas typically offering walks with a different twist to those that are more widely available.
We’re currently offering some themed walks. The first set are three Shakespeare walks following Shakespeare’s life in London as he moves from Shoreditch down to Bankside and then into the City of London – we run at least one of these walks every Saturday morning (and each walk is self contained). Another set of walks Walking the Hidden River Fleet explores the largest of London’s Hidden Rivers in three interlinked walks.
Finally if you would like to undertake one of our walks, and can’t make the scheduled dates, do let us know - we may be able to run one for you and your friends.
If you join our mailing list we will send you regular email updates of walks. And to get the latest news, please like our Facebook page or Follow us on Twitter by using these buttons:
