Biography

History has always been a passion, as Miss B Takes a Walk I can immerse myself in the deep & varied timelines of the City of London.

From food to literature, green spaces and architecture the City has much to tell us about its past and present.

The City of London has many guises, there is always something new and interesting to discover.  Virtual Tours are also offered on any of the walks listed.
