BRING YOUR BABY GUIDED LONDON WALK: "Women in the City of London"
About this Event
'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.
Halfway stop at the Royal Exchange for baby change. At this time you will be given an hour to change baby at your own pace and get something to eat and drink at one of the many outlets around Bank before meeting the guide back at The Royal Exchange to resume the walk.
This walk has been written and is guided by City of London guide and co-author of 'Women from Hackney's History', Sue Doe.
