About this event
London is one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the world and has witnessed crucially important events throughout its two thousand year history. It has also been one of the wealthiest cities in Europe, attracting enquiring and creative minds including composers and musicians. This walk will not only take you through the heart of Westminster, enabling you to see sights such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Whitehall and Trafalgar Square, but it will also explore important musical associations and connections. You will visit the places where Mozart and Haydn lived, explore historical performance venues and find out how events in history have had a profound effect on our musical culture.
Even if you know London well, on this walk you will see famous locations, discover hidden gems, learn some little-known musical facts and be gently amused by your expert guide.
