Welcome to Green City Walks, showcasing the
beauty and history of the City of London.
The guided walks featured in these pages are
designed to give workers and visitors to
London a deeper appreciation of this great
City.
Simply read about the walks, decide which most interests you,
and then meet your guide at the appointed time and place.
There is no need to book ahead.
Each walk costs £5 per person with proceeds to 'Cancer
Research UK' and 'Oxfam'.
All walks feature beautiful architecture, gardens and water
features, many of which are unknown to most visitors to
London.
