'From Ballet to Burials & Trains to Tennis' – Discover Baron’s Court Guided Walk

Come along on Sunday 17th May for a Blue Badge Guided Walk around historic Baron's Court!

Blue Badge Guides know London better than anyone. They have trained intensively for two years and passed the highest Tourist Guiding qualification in the UK.

About the walk
Situated between Kensington and Hammersmith this attractive conservation area was built up during the late Victorian period and retains many interesting examples of domestic architecture.

Discover purpose built artists’ studio houses, the former home of the Royal Ballet, one of London’s leading drama schools, the famous Queens tennis club, a teaching hospital and a former burial ground with an unusual name.

We’ll hear about the notable people who have passed through the area including an aviator, authors, a world famous political leader, actors and dancers.

The walk is a private walk for the group, we will be guided by Blue Badge guide Diane Burstein and Guy Fairbank.
