This walk explores the
western half of the City of London in the Victorian era, tracing the rise
of the respectable society and the gradual movement from aristocratic government to democracy.
We will also touch on the role of women in Victorian Society.
We will meet Queen Victoria, John Wesley, John Ruskin, Charles Dickens,
Benjamin Disraeli and many of other ordinary Victorians, from all walks of
life.
Keeping largely to the City's network of alleyways we will see some of its
jewels of Victorian architecture as well as many other iconic
buildings.
Walks start at Blackfriars Station and are led by Susan Gane.
They
will last one and half to two hours and the
cost is £6 per person, £4 concessions, with accompanied children under
twelve free of charge. They should be arranged in advance; the minimum group
is seven people, not counting accompanied
children under twelve. Contact Susan by email here
