We take a pre-arranged train into London (to take advantage of the lowest fares), and meet at a pre-arranged time and place for a guided tour of varying parts of London. Booking (and payment!) beforehand is required. The walks usually take a couple of hours.

We continue with our London visits throughout the year with our amazing Blue Badge guide Amber. During the summer, trips to three very different areas, Belgravia, St Pauls to Charterhouse and St James. We had afternoon visits to the Saatchi Gallery to see the art exhibition, Flowers, Flora in Contemporary Art and Culture and to The Charterhouse, being shown around this fascinating and historic building by a brother, as the residents are called.

When our leaders John and Suzanne are in Tasmania, we continue our trips using Zoom, this year we’ve had fascinating sessions looking at stained glass in London and enjoying the absurdity of Georgian satire.

Should you wish to join us on Zoom virtual trips or join us on a ‘live’ trip if places are available, please contact us by email, so we can add you to our email circulation list.
