One of a series of free walks from the Westminster Guides supported by Inside Out to celebrate open-air arts and culture in Westminster!

Join us for a lovely stroll around the Strand and several of the small streets leading off of it.

Please meet at Temple Station (WC2R 2PH). Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the start time. The walk will finish on Villiers Street (between Embankment and Temple Stations).

We will start off with a look at an open air Art Exhibition and then go on a voyage of discovery to a forgotten station, the lesser known Strand Church (St Mary’s), see where the first BBC radio broadcast was made as well as a Tudor chapel. You will also find out where you could play chess while having a meal and hear about a murder at the Savoy. The Adams brothers, the Adelphi, and a militant organisation fightling for equality for women will also be mentioned during the walk.

This is one of 25 "A Wander through Westminster" Walks offered by the City of Westminster Guides in conjunction with the Inside Out Programme that celebrates open-air art and culture in Westminster.

Some Practical Details:

Please dress for the weather, with light, breathable attire, a hat, sunglasses, fan, and sunscreen in the case of hot weather and an umbrella and rainwear should the weather be inclement. Wear sensible shoes or sandals and carry a bottle of water with you.

All walks are led by trained City of Westminster Guides who love to share their knowledge of the borough with residents and visitors. Please respect their time and efforts by cancelling your place should you not be able to attend to allow someone else to join.
