Each year we train guides to provide walks around Westminster (and if you are interested in doing this then do visit London Heritage Training to find out more about our training).
This year we have three students showing off walks that they researched themselves. While they are not yet entitled to wear the Westminster Guides badge, they have completed most of the training. Do come along and have fun listening to the students as they tell you about Westminster’s past history.
