Jane's Twixtmas walk – Willesden to Marylebone

Every year, between Christmas Day and Twelfth Night, I offer some longer semi-guided walks. These are not tightly-scripted affairs, but friendly gatherings, approx 5 miles long, that include a refreshment stop for lunch. As per my regular walking tours, I'll point out and talk about interesting, quirky and unusual things along the way, and we'll finish our day approx 4pm, probably in a pub. Some people like to stay for the full route, some may wish to leave early making use of the convenient bus routes and stations along the way.

.....................

This route starts near Willesden Junction and takes us along and above the Grand Union Canal to Little Venice and onwards to Regent's Park.

This is a colourful and varied route with lots to see. We'll stop to look at bridges, boats, brutalist buildings, flora, fauna and a folly.

• One flat fee £15 – no concession rates for these longer walks.
• The exact meeting point will be clearly described on your confirmation sent via email immediately after purchase. This info will also be sent in a reminder email the day before the walk
• Food and drink is not included in the price. We'll stop at a area where there is plenty of choice for all tastes, but you might prefer to bring a packed lunch.
• The route will finish near Baker Street station.
  

Customer feedback: "A fascinating walk with the ever knowledgeable and entertaining / "I love how you point out all the little quirks and make it so much more interesting than other academic-style guides. And you make it fun too. Thanks" / "...so engaging, thanks to your delivery style and obvious thirst for knowledge" / More feedback here

My guiding style is inclusive, open and friendly. I design and research every tour myself – in fact, the research never ends. The walks and talks I offer are all on subjects that intrigue me and each one highlights a different facet of my personality. I am particularly interested in the architecture of our ever-changing streets and the little details on and above them. For more information, please visit www.janeslondonwalks.com
