About us
If you love London, love history and love walking then come join Paul and Tim's Walks and Talks. Paul is an accredited guide, a lecturer who is passionate about sharing the history of London with others.
Tim is a historian, lecturer and author of a best selling guide to London (Walking London's History: 2000 years in 15 walks).
Together, we have been lecturing on London's history and taking people round this wonderful city for over ten years. We have worked with education institutes, museums, London clubs and groups and guided Londoners and tourists alike.
We offer high quality talks on London's history from Whitechapel to White City, from Boudicca to Virginia Woolf. We offer walks (never more than 20 people) to the hidden London where tourists rarely go, and tell stories that they don't hear. This group is for those who love their history but want to explore it in a non-scholarly fashion with friendly and relaxed people, hopefully sharing a meal, a drink and good conversation.

- £12.00
The Lost World of Orchards, Gardens and Art Deco factories
Location not specified yetBoston Manor House, photo © Copyright Stefan Czapski
My number is 07815009191.
MEET: No. 6 Coffee, 6 Boston Parade, Boston Road, Hanwell W7 2DG.
Join me on this walk mostly through green spaces: through Boston Manor Park, along the Grand Union Canal and through the once thriving site of Brentford Dock. We'll even take in an orchard, as we discover the history of Brentford.
The town was once the centre of the fruit and veg garden of England with its thousands of acres of market gardens and orchards, the site of two major battles, the place to live with its grand 18th century houses and the 'Golden Mile' of art deco factories. We'll enjoy all this and see the site of probably the greatest crime against heritage of the 20th century.
The cost is £12, either cash on the day or to my account sort code 090128 acct number 75471878.
