Walk: Let’s All Go Down the Strand

Starting from outside Temple Underground Station (Circle and District Lines), this walk with Pete Smith follows the Strand from the boundary of the City of London to Trafalgar Square. On the way, you will learn about: the engineer who saved a city; the nobleman who demolished a church to build himself a mansion; the revolting peasants whose appetite for sweet wine led to their death; a distinctly dotty doorway (or is it?); a watergate with no water; and the oddest street name in London.
