What we’re about
Weekend photowalks, dog-friendly, usually on Saturdays via scenic routes in Central, West and East London covering major landmarks as well as little known and interesting locations off the beaten path. Duration at a leisurely pace between 2-2.5 hours, depending on the group's size and structure.
According to a research by TimeOut magazine amongst the world travellers London was voted the most pictouresque travel destination in the world.
Everyone is welcome to join.
The walks are designed for people new to London, but also for seasoned Londoners who do not mind a bit of trivia and interesting facts. We also do one-off and seasonal events like festivals, carnivals and parades.
Our motto: London is not just for tourists.
Our members are from all corners of the world, so it's also about social and cultural exchange.
Samuel Johnson, the author of the first-ever dictionary, made a statement about London that would stand the test of time, as it is which is still referenced today: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
