Explore the City – with Guy Fairbank.

Southwest of St Paul’s Cathedral lies an area that’s played host to a Holy Roman Emperor and a wronged queen, taught Agatha Christie about poisons, and entertained theatre audiences in Shakespeare’s time. This gentle walk will be led by Blue Badge Guide and Chelsea Society member Guy Fairbank. It will start at Blackfriars station and finish near St Paul’s cathedral in a hidden garden with a beautiful view. After the walk members might like to visit the nearby Wren Café which is inside the Church of St Nicholas Cole Abbey where coffee or a light lunch can be enjoyed.

We will meet at 10.30am at Blackfriars Station. If arriving by underground exit through barriers, meeting point straight ahead (inside station entrance)

Walk will last approximately 90 minutes.

Tickets £20 – available only from the Box Office of the Cadogan Hall, 3 Sloane Terrace, London, SW1X 9DQ in person, or by phone 0207-730-4500

Members may bring guests, but numbers are limited so book early
