Here are some walking tours with Paul Talling exploring sites covered in his books-These walks cover the routes of London's lost and hidden rivers/canals/docks and lost music venues and also take in other points of interest, social history, music trivia & the odd bit of dereliction along the way. The time estimate for walks is very rough as I'm in no hurry and these usually result in a social in the pub afterwards. Any queries to: info@ londonslostrivers.com
Please note that these walks are wholly above ground and there will be no subterranean trips down to the sewers!

Walks are limited to 20 people to keep it more personal and are ADVANCE TICKET PURCHASE ONLY. You cannot pay on the day.
