'Women of the City' Walking Tour
We are excited to offer members a unique evening walking tour, led by multi-award-winning Blue Badge Tourist Guide Katie Wignall of 'Look Up London'
The City of London - aka the Square Mile - has always been the centre of trade and finance for London. Although a man in a suit may spring to mind first, on this walk you'll be hearing about the inspiring women who have smashed the glass ceiling, fought for equal rights and challenged the status quo.
From Regency businesswomen to Victorian philanthropists and outspoken martyrs to modern-day trailblazers, see the City through new eyes!
This event is open to all – men are welcome and encouraged to join. If you are curious to hear some of the hidden histories and untold stories of inspiring women who have left their marks on the City – and enjoy an early autumn evening’s walk in good company – this is the event for you.
Start time/place:
5:30pm – Statue of Queen Anne, outside St Paul’s Cathedral (Ludgate Hill side)
End time/place:
7:00pm – Aldgate Station
The walk will be followed by an optional drink and a chance to continue the conversation and make new connections at Dave's Wine Bar in Aldgate (not included in the ticket price).
