BRING YOUR BABY GUIDED LONDON WALK: "Women in the City of London - West"

Walk Starts: Outside St. Paul's underground station - Exit 2

Walk ends: Temple

There will be a scheduled halfway at Ludgate Circus where you will be given an hour's free time before meeting back up with the guide. An easy option here is to visit Leon (step-free) for lunch / resfreshment, where there is also a baby change.

This walk has been written and is guided by City of London guide and co-author of 'Women from Hackney's History', Sue Doe.

Walk description:

- How long did it take for women to be able to trade within the Stock Exchange?

- The murderer of Mitre Court.

- And how long for them to be allowed to be a trade at Smithfield market?

- The City church and its connection to a well known dessert.

- The great 'Con' of the Fleet weddings.

- How the first female doctor got round the rules.

- The woman who published the first daily newspaper in Britain.

- What links the first English settlers in America with Jerry Hall.

- The disorderly women of Bridewell Pr*son.

- What it took for a woman to be served at the bar at El Vinos.

Winner of 'Best Parent Activity' at the 'Bablands Awards', 'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.

You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.

Important notes about booking:

- Please feel free to invite baby-free friends.

- If on the day of the walk we are forecast to have very bad weather, I may have to postpone the walk. If it's a bit of light rain we will cope!

- Every walk follows the usual health and safety guidelines, such as crossing at traffic lights where possible and having hazards pointed out to you at the start and along the route.

- There may be times we have to stand in direct sunlight (although I will always choose shade where possible). Please bring all the necessary sun protection for yourself and your child.

- It is recommended you bring appropriate drinks and snacks for the duration of the walk, especially if the walk takes place at lunchtime.

- I will contact you with booking confirmation after you book. I will supply my mobile number in case of emergencies or in case you are running late. I will also ask you to provide me with a mobile number so you can be contacted for the purposes of the walk, but this is *not for marketing purposes*. Please note that if you are more than a few minutes late I may ask you to catch up with us.

- Please feel free to invite baby-free friends.

- Children are the responsibility of the parent or guardian, and must be monitored by them at all times.

- Refunds or requests to move to a future event or date must be requested within 24 hours of the event commencing so that we can try to refill the space in adequate time.

- If for any reason Bring Your Baby Ltd are forced to cancel or postpone an event (for example in the case of illness or extreme weather conditions), you are within your rights to request a refund, though we will always suggest an alternative date for you to attend.
