About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

This walk is a different kind of walk. We will be walking through the heart of central London but instead of focussing on the popular and must-see sights the walk focusses on those that are less obvious and frequently ignored but often fascinate when discovered!

During the walk we will view a camel statue, a water gate that is not near water, an ultimate token of love near a bizarre back street, a coffin and a cigarette along with a back to front church with links to many famous people and the scene of a murder!

People can expect to be enlightened about places that most people pass by! Hopefully there will be more than a few “well I never knew that” moments as people find out some of the more hidden aspects of the city of Westminster!

This walk is led by City of Westminster Guide Phil Scott.
