Looks like a fascinating walk. Every area of London has so many gems to see.

I was lucky enough to go on a tour of the Garrick Club a few years ago. It was quite funny as all the men had to stick to the dress code but the women could wear what they liked as we were only guests.

It’s an area I know really well but I’d not seen some things before! It’s nice to learn something new!

I think it’s quite shocking that they haven’t had women members until this year! I’d like to see inside but I don’t know any members …

Love the area!
If you keep posting interesting walking tours of London you may find me on your doorstep one day.

I love the Royal Opera House and that twisty looking bridge.

I'd never noticed the twisty bridge before - I love learning about new things!
