group of friends from one of the London guiding courses had the bright idea to pool their efforts to promote their walks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Today we are nearly 50 strong, but the principle remains the same: a company co-operatively owned by our guides that exists solely to promote the best walks in London and the best standards in guiding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">That\u2019s the Footprints of London difference; quality walks by and for those who love London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

taking you efficiently and safely around London\u2019s busy streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We\u2019re from as diverse a range of backgrounds as the walks we present, but there is one thing that that binds us; a desire to seek out the fascinating stories that lurk in London\u2019s amazing past to share them with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As we all research and write our own walks based on our own interests, these stories will be told to you with an unrivalled knowledge &amp; enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div
