Local London Guiding Day is an annual event to offer free walks around London by local guiding organisations, same theme, in their own area … how many walks can you complete in 1 day …
All walks begin and end either at or near an underground, to enable you to get to the next walk as quickly as possible.
This years’ theme Local Heroes of Camden offers a circular walk to discover London’s largest public garden square, an oasis in the capital, with stunning buildings and memorials bringing to life our past heroes. Who would believe such a peaceful walk would include a Catholic refuge … in a pub, an execution point, home of possibly the greatest judge in history, being overlooked by the stunning Lincoln’s Inn.
The walk leaves every hour on the hour, beginning at 10:00 until final walk departing at 16:00.
Duration of walk – 1 hour
Meeting point – Holborn Underground Station
Finishing point – near above.
