Service Description

Discover some of the City of London sites that the artist Geoffrey Fletcher captured so lovingly in the 1960s and 1970s and learn about the area's long and rich heritage. "entertaining and informative, a gentle workout for the body and brain. What’s not to like!" Tripadvisor 5* review "Had a good time, the guide is great." Tripadvisor 5* review "Great walk..! I thoroughly enjoyed it." Best known for his 1962 book 'The London That Nobody Knows', Geoffrey Fletcher's sketches, paintings, books and weekly column in the Telegraph recorded the London he feared was vanishing in the decades after World War II. The City has undergone massive redevelopment since Fletcher's time, but a surprising number of the historic sites he drew or painted remain today. The walk will last a little over two hours. Please be prepared for all weathers! Start: outside Blackfriars station (on the City, ie northern, side) Finish: close to Monument station "Jonathan was enthusiastic about his subject and passed on his knowledge clearly and confidently.
