Description
Halfway stop for lunch/refreshment and baby change at The Royal Exchange, where you will be given a 40 minute break before meeting back up with your guide. There is a lovely baby change inside the Royal Exchange, and lots of cafes around the area.
'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.
This walk is written and guided by City of London guide Sue Doe.
Coffee houses in 18th century London were a vital cog in the wheels of business. From the many that catered for the City’s population sprang the Stock Exchange, Lloyds of London, the Baltic Exchange, auctioneers, scientific and philosophical societies and clubs. They brought people together, to talk and share ideas and news. They acted as employment exchanges, post offices and travel agents.
The alleyways of Cornhill were the site of eight of the most important, and there are still signs of them in the City today.
I’ll tell some stories of the businesswomen, and weave in those from Hackney who have emerged from recent research.
