This Saturday 4th October is Local London Guiding Day when newly qualified tour guides across the capital are unleashed on to an unsuspecting public. There are free tours all day, on the hour from 10 until 4.
For the City, please see https://www.cityoflondonguides.com/.../local-london...
You can book but places are also kept back for people who just turn up. I will be at the venue for much of the day but I won't be guiding.

Shortly after 1 o'clock we stop at the Captain Kidd in Wapping for those who wish to purchase lunch. After that we carry on upstream to finish at St Katherine's Dock (Convenient for Tower Gateway DLR and Tower Hill underground). We expect to finish by 4 o'clock.

Please note that this is a long walk: just over 2 miles in the morning then another mile in the afternoon.

There are no refreshment stops except for the Captain Kidd and no public toilets though cafes might oblige.

Walk starts outside the Docklands Museum.
