In 1666 the Great Fire swept away much of London, but as the flames died to ashes, one corner was untouched. The morning tour includes the precincts of St Paul’s Cathedral, a rose garden in the haunted ruins of Christ Church Greyfriars, where four queens were buried, Post man’s Park, home to very touching Art Nouveau ceramic plaques of the Watts Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice, historic Smithfield and London’s oldest parish church, St Bartholomew the Great. We have coffee in Paternoster Square, and at the end of the gentle walking tour you are free to have lunch in the many pubs and cafes in the area.

After lunch we travel to Little Venice to board our boat for a 50 minute journey along the Regents Canal to Camden Lock, the guide pointing out places of interest along the way. There should be time there for refreshments in Camden before we take our coach back at 5pm.

This trip includes:     A Blue Badge guide throughout      Morning coffee      50 minute Canal trip

I am very sorry but this trip won’t be suitable for those with rollators as the narrow boat can’t take them. It is a gentle, flat walking tour of about 1 kilometre (approx. half a mile) with opportunity for stops and chances to sit down.
