London walking tours

Besides walking a great deal on our own, on a June visit to London we took two guided walks with The Original London Walks (P.O. Box 1708, London, NW6 4LW, U.K.; phone 020 7624 3978 or 020 7794 1764 or visit www.walks.com. Recorded info at 020 7624 9255). They have an extensive list of all types of walks plus a list of the guides and descriptions of their backgrounds.

To go on a walk, just go to the designated underground stop, meet your guide and pay £6 (or £5 for those 65-plus). Walks generally take two hours. We took the “Along the Thames Pub Walk” and “Secret London.” I was sorry I had never taken one before.
