  • I. Alleys, Courtyards and Hidden Pubs
    Walk I: Piccadilly Circus Station to Belgravia

    Behind the grand streets and bustling thoroughfares in London, there are often networks of narrow, winding alleyways, atmospheric courtyards or old stable yards – all packed with history. Venture down these quieter, more shadowy backstreets and you will often find amazing architectural survivors and hidden pubs.     

    II. Room to Breathe and Contemplate
    WalkII: Moorgate Station to Mansion House Station

    London is blessed with a lot of green spaces: its large parks are world-famous, but it also has plenty of miniature gardens hidden among its streets. They often have their own fascinating stories. Many, for example, started life as graveyards, filled to bursting point in the 19th century before being turned into gardens, and others are inspiring community efforts, laid out on unloved and forgotten slips of land. 

    III. Inns of Court        
    Walk III: Temple Station to City Thameslink Station 

    The areas occupied by the Inns of Court in London are fascinating and beautiful enclaves to explore. The Inns of Court themselves are professional institutions for barristers in England and Wales, which started off as lawyers’ guilds, around the 14th century, providing training and accommodation for their members. All barristers in England and Wales today need to be a member of one of the four Inns of Court in London: Lincoln’s Inn, Gray’s Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple. In the 13th century, King Henry III proclaimed that civil law could not be taught within the city walls. The Inns therefore set themselves up to the west, in Holborn and Temple, where they still are today. They have many little gardens, courtyards and historic nooks and crannies to discover, best explored during weekdays, when all entrances are open and accessible. 

    IV. Riverside Nooks    
    Walk IV: London Bridge Station to Wapping  

    Along and around the riverfront of the Thames are a number of intriguing river stairs and little cut-throughs. The river has always been crucial to London’s prosperity, bringing in trade and linking it to the outside world, and these nooks and crannies hold many of the city’s most exciting tales.    

    V. Cultural Curiosities    
    Walk V: Monument Station to Guildhall

    You never know what you are going to find tucked away in one of London’s hidden corners: many have memorials or links to famous cultural figures; some contain small art galleries or museums; and, in the case of a few, they are home to unexpected architectural details and historical remnants.
