Accompanied by a professional guide, learn about the history of this area as you snap memorable photos.
Oana Madalina (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I absolutely loved this walk. Hazel is a great guide and she is very knowledgeable and considerate towards the elderly members of the group who could not keep up the pace so well. I managed to discover some hidden gems and whet my appetite for other walks! The walk dives into the history of Southwark starting with the name and is a fascinating journey through the social and architectural history of London."
Paul (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Great walk with a really interesting guide with a formidable knowledge of the history and geography of Southwark. If you fancy a 90 minute stroll with endless surprises then I thoroughly recommend."
Helen (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Our guide was knowledgeable and bubbly and made the walk fun and interesting. I learned a lot. Her reading of Chaucer's introduction to the Canterbury Tales was perfect!"
