The walk starts outside a cosy Marylebone pub* then meanders through the back streets of the West End, through Mayfair and into Soho. The walk includes hidden passages, superbly decorated posh shops and lots of historical snippets along the way.

As with many of Joanna’s walks and virtual tours there is a food/drink theme plus Christmas traditions and decorations throughout!

*The walk starts outside the pub but you might want to visit it beforehand.

No food or drink is included on this tour.

The pub is on the corner of Thayer Street and Marylebone Lane.

Please consult CityMapper or TfL Go to find your best route to the start of the walk. Please note that since the Elizabeth Line opened Bond Street station now has multiple exits so please allow enough time to get to the meeting point.

The walk finishes close to Piccadilly Circus tube where there are lots of options for post walk refreshment.

All Joanna’s walks can be offered as private tours and both as virtual and real life tours. Please email joanna [at]westminsterwalks [dot] london if that is of interest.

Some reviews from my previous real life Christmas walks. I should add that quite a few people have done this walk multiple times!

“A very informative and fabulous walk with Joanna who has a wealth of knowledge and it was just so great to get off the beaten track … Joanna also sends out links and other information following the walk to keep it in mind. I highly recommend.”

“I did the Xmas light foodie inspired walk with Joanna Saturday evening.It was magic, fun and informative. Strongly to recommend! Thanks Joanna.”

“Joining Joanna on this walking tour around London was a highlight of our Christmas! Dodging through little alley ways into hidden courtyards alight with the prettiest of displays we never would have found, Joanna’s relaxed, humorous and informative style all added to our experience. Thank you so much Joanna….looking forward to our next walk with you!”

“What a great walk, loads of history, places you would never find without a guide. Jo is a great, knowledgeable guide, it’s just a fun thing to do. Great way to find pubs, shops, streets that we would not even know were there.”
