We will discover some intriguing courtyards and byways in the historic area of St Giles and Seven Dials, which once had a once notorious reputation. While some past inhabitants earned an honest living as costermongers at nearby Convent Garden market, others survived by prostitution and petty crime in a district which became known as the “St Giles Rookery”.
This walk features an elegant 18th Century church, several theatres, the home of “Monty Python”, hidden Almshouses and one of London’s most famous restaurants.
Our walk commences at 14:00. Please arrive by 13:45 as we may not wait for stragglers.
The tour finishes within walking distance of Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern and Elizabeth lines), Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines) and Covent Garden (Piccadilly line) tube stations.
