I've got a rare treat coming up on Sunday June 14th at 2.30pm -- a guided walk in TERRIFIC TOTTERIDGE, one of the wealthiest and loveliest of all London suburbs, with stunning Georgian and Arts and Crafts houses, famous names, a gorgeous green, and a great deal more. The walk begins and ends outside Totteridge & Whetstone tube station. And on Tuesday May 26th at 10.45am and Wednesday May 27th at 1.45pm I'll be exploring STOCKWELL, a rural village until well into the 19th century which has retained many Victorian houses of striking architectural beauty, especially around Albert Square. The walk begins and ends at Stockwell tube station. Both walks last two hours, and cost £15. Bookings: please email [email protected] or phone/text 07506 761294. Paul, City of London guide.

I hope that you cool cats who came to COOL CAMDEN TOWN with me last Sunday, and some of those of you who didn't, will join me on Sunday May 17th at 2.30pm, when I'll be exploring neighbouring COOL KENTISH TOWN, meeting outside Camden Town tube station. The tour lasts two hours, and costs £15. And there are still spaces for my STOCKWELL walk, exploring a very lovely part of south London, on Tuesday May 26th at 10.45am and Wednesday May 27th at 1.45pm, meeting at Stockwell tube station. Also £15. Please phone/text 07506 761294 for bookings, or email [email protected]. Paul (City of London guide)

I hope that all you cool cats (as well as uncool ones, like myself) will come with me to COOL CAMDEN TOWN on Sunday May 10th, for a guided walk meeting at 2.30pm outside Camden Town tube station. We'll explore a fascinating past of railways and canals (Camden Lock pictured: and we'll find out why the name Camden Lock is incorrect), and a pulsating present of street art, stand-up comedy, modern music and markets. And the following Sunday May 17th, also at 2.30pm, I'll be exploring neighbouring COOL KENTISH TOWN, also meeting outside Camden Town tube station. Each tour lasts two hours, and costs £15. BUT ... join me for both, on consecutive Sundays, and you'll save £5 (£25 total for both walks). And there are still spaces for my walk examining CITY OF LONDON PLAQUES AND SCULPTURES next Tuesday May 12th at 10.45am and Wednesday May 13th at 1.45pm, meeting at Liverpool St station. Also £15. Please phone/text 07506 761294 for bookings, or email [email protected]. Paul (City of London guide)

Please join me on Sunday April 19th at 11am outside Barnet College, Wood St EN5 4AZ for a two-hour guided tour of THE HEART OF HIGH BARNET. See the brewery that became a town hall and a church that became a shopping centre. Marvel at some truly beautiful old houses and almshouses. Hear about a fair that was so famous that Cossacks flocked to it, and so infamous that the Victorians tried to close it down. Hear about the famous Battle of Barnet. This is the first of a two-part tour of the Barnet area. The following Sunday April 26th at 11am, the tour continues from where this one ends, at the Spires, exploring beautiful MONKEN HADLEY VILLAGE, and its green spaces, beautiful 18th-century houses, and famous inhabitants. Each tour costs £15, £5 under 12s. Both tours can be enjoyed separately if you can only come to one. But if you come to both, you'll only pay £10 for the second walk (£25 total). Oh, and there's still time to book for the 555th anniversary BATTLE OF BARNET walk on Tuesday April 14th at 11am (£15). Please email [email protected] or phone/text 07506 761294 for further info and bookings. See you soon, I hope! Paul (City of London guide)

The Battle of Barnet took place on April 14th 1471, and next Tuesday April 14th at 11am I'll be walking the battlefield and offering a special 555th anniversary BATTLE OF BARNET guided walk. We meet at the junction of the Great North Rd and Hadley Green Rd EN5 5PP, opposite the Monken Holt pub. We'll hear about the day when THREE kings of England came to spend the day in Barnet, including Richard III, pictured, and how the weather played a vital role in one of the most decisive battles in English history. It's fun and informative, and there's some audience participation, so watch out! And the following two weekends I'll be doing the double: a guided walk in HISTORICAL HIGH BARNET on Sunday April 19th at 11am, followed by neighbouring MONKEN HADLEY VILLAGE on Sunday April 26th at 11am. All walks last two hours, and cost £15, £5 under 12s. If you do the double with me on April 19th and 26th, you'll save £5 (£25 total for both walks!). See you soon, I hope.
