Description
Thanksgiving Day walk!
Walk Starts: Outside Bank tube station (Royal Exchange exit)
Walk Ends: Temple station
With a stop after about an hour at Paternoster Square for refreshment and/or lunch and baby change. You will be given 45 minutes to go and do this and return to meet the guide at a specified time. There are a variety of places to buy food or you can bring a packed lunch.
Winner of 'Best Parent Activity' at the 'Bablands Awards', 'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.
You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.
This walk has been written and is guided by City of London guide and co-author of 'Women from Hackney's History', Sue Doe.
