Guided tours worth booking: walks led by people who know the streets, and the bus, river and cycling tours that earn their fare. Each is drawn on the map as the ground it covers, from where it meets.
The City of the poem, walked in the order the poem takes it.
Every Wednesday, 11:30Walking
The Waste Land is full of specific London: the crowd flowing over London Bridge, the church of St Mary Woolnoth keeping the hours with a dead sound, the Thames going past Greenwich Reach. Eliot wrote it while working in a bank in the City and knew the ground intimately. The walk goes to the places the poem names and explains why he chose them, which is the difference between reading it and understanding what he was looking at.
Adult £20, students and seniors £15, children £5
