Joanna has been leading guided walks in the West End, Clerkenwell & Islington and further afield since 2009. Her walks are mostly off the beaten track taking in hidden alleyways and lesser known streets. Many walks have a food or pub theme and sometimes include stops in historic pubs, bars or unusual coffee shops.
Joanna qualified as a City of Westminster Guide in 2009, spent 5 years as Events Organiser for the Association and ran their Twitter feed for some time.
In 2015 Joanna then qualified as a Clerkenwell & Islington Guide. From Summer 2018 she has been organising speakers for the Association’s monthly meetings and currently looks after their Twitter feed.
.Joanna’s best-selling walks are:
- From Monoux and Morris to Beer and Bacon Jam – a walk around Walthamstow
- A Foodie Themed Christmas Lights Walk
Other regular walks are in and around the West End, Clerkenwell & Islington and Chingford
As well as leading walks for Footprints of London Joanna also has her own website http://westminsterwalks.london/ She is an occasional blogger too http://westminsterwalks.london/blog/
Reviews of Joanna’s Walthamstow walk include these two:
“Such an interesting walk. I was born and bred in Walthamstow, but Joanna still showed me things that I didn’t know about – in particular the cobbled street, and the information about the man that Lloyd Park was named after! She showed a passion for the area and this was catching! Thank you Joanna!”
“I knew nothing about Walthamstow apart from the William Morris gallery. … Joanna’s tour was informative and fun – a bit of history, anecdote, and lots of information about what’s happening in Walthamstow now. Very friendly and relaxed. I will be looking out for more of Joanna’s tours!”
And these two for Soho Uncensored:
“Excellent tour of curiosities and hidden history of Soho – although I work in the area I learnt a lot about the scandals and stories hidden away in this maze of streets.”
“I am based in London but know very little about the history of some of the most interesting parts – like Soho. I went on this walk with clients of mine from USA and it was one of the best walking tours I’ve been on. The walk was not too long – only a couple of kms all together – and took us through the dark and interesting parts of Soho as well as some of the lesser known streets and alley ways. Would highly recommend one of Jo’s walks if you are in London.”
