Centenary Day City Walks where and when

Previous mention has been made of a series of 
walks in the City of London and this short 
article gives a bit more detail for those 
interested. Walks will commence at timed 
intervals from 10am onwards, starting at the 
church of St Magnus the Martyr, Lower Thames 
Street. Nearest stations: Monument or London 
Bridge. Don’t miss the beautiful model of Old 
London Bridge which is in the church. The time of 
your walk will be indicated for those with 
pre-booked tickets. Those who decide at the last 
minute should present themselves at St Magnus by 
11.15am, the fee is £8 per person payable on the 
day. The walks will last about 90 minutes, and 
each will take the same route through the City to 
end at Liverpool Street underground station. On 
the way your professional City of London Guide 
will point out historical features, such as where 
the Great Fire of London started, and visit some 
delightful alleys and lanes as well as the 
glorious garden of St Dunstan in the East. The 
church of St Andrew Undershaft where Fabian 
Stedman was buried will be followed by a visit to 
the wonderful pre-Fire church of St Katharine 
Cree. Winding through the alleyways, you will 
pass some of the great institutions of the City 
such as Lloyds of London, the London Metal 
Exchange and the Baltic Exchange, which adjoins 
the Gherkin. The walk also takes in some of the 
great halls of the Livery Companies and the 
Church of All Hallows, London   Wall. Dont miss 
out there is still time to book!
