Come on a lively guided walk beside London’s Riverside boundary, the River Thames, to trace the remnants of palaces and mansions of the rich and famous and their literary associations. Our ‘Treasure Map’ is a printed scene of riverside Westminster dated 1720, and we find buildings and monuments left from that time, and other grand homes which have been erected since then, exploring their connections with literary figures and the changing architecture and developing use of London’s riverside over five centuries.... |

If you are coming to London’s Oxford Street for shopping, why not join Stephen to hear fascinating stories about some of the West End’s major stores and the characters behind them. If you are a fan of the Mr Selfridge series you might be surprised to hear just how much of it was fiction but things you thought might be made up are actually true. And there are some incredible stories which did not make it into the TV series, such as the bet between Harry Gordon Selfridge and Harrods in 1917 and what the loser had to do.... |

We’re winding back the clock to the turn of the twentieth century. Join us on a march through central London and help us campaign for the right for women to vote. Along the way you’ll meet some of the characters who played a part in this struggle and some of the characters who tried to stop them. They’ll let you know the lengths they are willing to go to to achieve their aims and they’ll take you to the places that are so important in the fight.... |

Who Runs These Walks and Talks?
Events marked Association walks or talks are organised and coordinated by the City of Westminster Guide Lecturers’ Association, and are often arranged in partnership with other organisations.
Events marked Members’ walks or talks are organised by an individual member or by a group of Westminster Guides, for their personal interest, whether as a business or for a charity. Please note that the member is responsible for all aspects of the walk, and that the Association simply allows members to list their walks on the site. Any issues, queries or concerns about any of the Members’ Walks listed must therefore be addressed directly to the responsible guide.
