We did the Friday walk with David and had a splendid time, even though it was January. He was very knowledgeable and a good speaker with a sense of humor. Our favorite part was when David showed us the pieces of history that float up from the tidal Thames; he found several centuries-old bits of red roof tiles circa the Great Fire of London and I have one hanging on my wall - a very prized possession! Highly recommended and I plan to take several more London Walks when I return this fall.

Of the many London Walks walks I've taken, this is my favorite. David makes the city come alive, and is quite entertaining, especially after I've had a few beers! :-) Done this walk 3 times, HIGHLY recommended!

I would recommend this walk to anyone, whether they are visiting London for a breakaway, live there and want to see another side to the city or just want to try something different.

Our guide, David made sure there was a little part of the walk that included everyone, whatever part of the world they came from - and that made it very special. He even included a bit about Wales.

We had the opportunity to visit three very different pubs and taste some very tasty local bitters, while taking in a lot (and I mean a lot - David's knowledge was quite fantastic) of historical facts.

It was great fun and a brilliant way to spend a Friday evening.

One word of advice - wear comfy shoes! If you plan on going out afterwards - don't wear heels ladies, there are quite a few cobbled areas on this walk. But it's well worth it.

Thanks David!

Hi,

I went on this walk in August 2006.
It was my fifth walk, the other four walks i also made with the orignal london walks.
I have enjoyed being on this walk. I don't know the name of the Guide i think it was David. He is an American who lives in London.
It was fantastic yourney through time.It was nice to hear him speak.
The beer was also very good. We spent some time at the founders arms. It was a bit crowdy their but enjoyed very much.
Go and see it for yourself you won't be disapointed.

Greetings
Guus

A fantastic walk! I did it in November 1987 on a Saturday night and I found Southwark even more atmospheric then Whitechapel (in its Dickensian/Victorian atmosphere). I recall how creepy it felt going down Clink Street as well as seeing the actual sight where the Globe originally stood. When the tour was finished I walked across London Bridge with a few other tour members and I recall feeling how lucky I was to be in London.
