One of the fascinating features of London is being able to turn off a busy street and step back in time through narrow passages, squares and alley-ways. That's the attraction of SPITALFIELDS, an area in the East of the City which is just a few yards away from busy Bishopsgate and Liverpool Street Station.
That's why my next walk promises to be one to remember. It's taking place on Saturday, 10th February 2007. Anyone who wants to come along can meet me at the ticket barrier on platform 11 of Liverpool Street station at 11 am.
How will you know it's me? That's easy. I shall be wearing a distinctive yellow bib and displaying my City of London Guide badge.
The two-hour walk will be taken at a gentle pace because there's so much to see and learn. This is where French and Dutch Huguenots, Chinese, Jews, Bangladeshis are just some of the many races who have come and settled in the area. It has produced a vibrant mix of people, buildings and stories - and you can find out about them by joining me on a LONDON FOOTSTEPS walk.
