About this event

Community • City & Town

The theme for this year's Local London Guiding Day is Shadows of the Past.

Join us to discover stories hiding in the shadows of an often overlooked, but fascinating corner of London: St Giles. Hear the story of two trailblazing women, discover a church known for plague pits and executions, walk in the footsteps of rock & roll rebels and experience the serenity of a hidden green oasis.

Meet at Exit 4 of Tottenham Court Road underground station by Centre Point
