What we're about
Do you like walking round different parts of London? Are you interested in Herstory (that's women's history)? London Herstory Walks is a brand new walking experience in London. It’s a fun way of discovering women’s stories
From Suffragettes to spies, groundbreaking trailblazers and rebels on a mission. I share what I know about some incredible women and in return you get to meet likeminded people in a friendly and very sociable environment. Most times we finish in a cafe for a hot drink and cake sometimes we finish in the pub.
The trips go out some Saturdays but mostly Sundays and a few days midweek too and last for 1.30-2.00hrs.
The cost of a tour is £10!
I am an ex airline stewardess and have spent the last 25 years of my life talking to people from around the globe so whether London is your home or you are just here for a short period from anywhere in the Uk or the world you can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome from me.
I started off my career as a tour guide then left the industry before returning 2 years ago. I take private and corporate tours in London and so you can be sure that I will do my very best to make your trip with me really enjoyable.
Look forward to meeting you soon! Mandy x

**New Tour**
Bow is an area largely forgotten by gentrification but this in turn makes it more real (in my humble opinion).
Its heritage trail shouts loudly of its association with the suffragettes. This is where Sylvia Pankhurst set up her East London Federation of Suffragettes. This is where she edited her weekly newspaper the workers dreadnought!
We go through the trail which includes a place where Gandhi came to stay at the invitation of sisters Doris & Muriel Lester. The old Roman Road with it's East End feel. Past the pie and mash shops and up to the Hertford Union Canal. We take a look at the old Bryant & May Match factory where the matchstick girls made history and so much more.
Start and finish at Bow Road underground.
£10 cash at the start of the walk or go over to my website www.flocklessbutfree.com to get an electronic ticket.
