Here
are some of the favourites:
Foreign
and UK visitors to London.
These walks have been very popular as a way of companies showing
off London to visiting colleagues and clients. A 90 minute
walk is a great way for guests to understand why the city
is so important, and they are always impressed with the rich
heritage.
Orientation
for staff.
These
walks were originally designed for new staff, but it quickly
became apparent that people who have worked in London for
years had surprisingly little knowledge about it.
An orientation walk is not only a good way for staff to get
out and talk to each other, but knowing something of their
surroundings can really enrich the experience of working in
the city. So many of us are in a rush when we are out of the
office that we miss the fantastic treasures which are all
around.
Team
events.
Walks are a pleasant way to meet people. As we stroll between
stops it seems so natural for everyone to chat to each other.
Some walks are specially designed to get teams working together
and if is combined with a short team quiz at the end (maybe
in one of London's famous taverns) it can be great fun.
Walk
to dinner the long way round.
Entertaining guests for lunch or dinner can be made
much more memorable if they are guided to the venue through
the maze of London alleyways and told stories about the city
on the way. An hour or so walking will also improve the appetite!
Local
Societies.
Many clubs and societies around the country arrange trips
to London, and a bespoke tour of London is a wonderful way
to spend a morning or afternoon. There is such a huge variety
of sights that it is usually not difficult to tailor make
a tour to fit many themes. Not only history, but subjects
like public art, business, shopping, the legal world, religion,
architecture, famous people, literature, music and food can
all be the subjects of a walk.
