Discover London's hidden alleys, courts and passages

Details

In this 90 minute guided walk, we will discover some of London's hidden alleys, gardens, passages and courts with fascinating stories dating back to the 17th century and beyond.

Dr Johnson (who lived in a square at the end of an alley) said: ‘If you wish to have a notion of the magnitude of this great city, you must not be satisfied with seeing its great streets and squares, but survey its innumerable little lanes and courts.’

We will finish near Monument tube.
