ABOUT 'WALKS AND TOURS' MEETUP GROUP
It is a 15-year fascinating journey together to explore the whole of beautiful, enchanting Secret London. The only walking group in the World offering this unique experience! On average, we normally have about 30 members on each walk.
The individual walks have been created from an original route several miles in length (usually on average about 40 miles) where we have checked every nook and cranny, every hidden alleyway, lane, lost cobbled path, cul de sac, avenue, road or street in that area for you!
It is then shortened, to give back to you a magical walk with all the best bits of 'Lovely London', voted the best City in the World for the 10th year running!
What is given back to you is the most scenic, healthy walk (usually 3-6 miles in length) with some of the walks containing hidden cobbled lanes, lost shops, secret gems, areas lost in time, wonderful views, idyllic Instagram photo shots and all sorts! Now and then some brief local info is mentioned or something of historical importance along the way.
You will have plenty of time to chat and meet new friends whilst walking the amazing lost areas of London! So we welcome you to the colourful highlights of this fascinating City of London with simply wonderful things to see!

Special Day - Stunning, beautiful walk & a unique visit to the House Of Dreams!
West Norwood station, Knights Hill, West Norwood, SE27 0HS, London, GBNEW WALK Hi all, cost & info below. This walk is only once every 2 years. Please join everyone for a fun linear, healthy, scenic 4.5 mile walk with some brief local info along the way while meeting new friends!
Highlights are a unique opportunity as a meetup group to see 'The House Of Dreams' (pictured), an outstanding private home that has appeared on countless documentaries and main news programs. The House of Dreams has been bequeathed to the National Trust and the National Trust works closely with Stephen. There is usually a charge of £12 per person but we have a discount so it's £10 per person!
Please find the 'BBC LONDON' link here https://youtu.be/0PicF0Acglg
Because of this cost, I personally will operate the walk for only £7.50 on the day! The cost is £17.50 per person which includes the visit to the house collected at the start of the walk, sold as a packaged discount!
'The House of Dreams' is 3 minutes from East Dulwich Station at the very end of the walk, with the house being our final stop. Drinks & meals available afterward at the nearby gorgeous pub near the station to chat & socialise with fellow members!
The home is open just for us as a meetup group. It is a small home so we will have to split into 2 groups for a better experience looking around without too many people. A 15-20 mins space between the 2 groups. cafes & shops very nearby & pub opposite for those members who on the second visit.
Other highlights are a beautiful stunning walk, West Norwood cemetery (one of the Victorian magnificent 7) with graves of Henry Tate (Tate and Lyle sugar) Henry Doulton (Doulton pottery), the last toll gate in London, a beautiful stop at the halfway stage for 20-30 minutes for toilets and refreshments and drinks and meal after in a gorgeous pub by the station at the end of the walk!
Please meet outside the front of West Norwood Station (Southern Trains with connection to London Bridge and London Victoria and many other stations) which is directly opposite the Horns Pub
£17.50 cash/card payment by simply turning up on the day, there is no offer for £7.50 for the walk only and the cost is non-refundable if you leave the walk earlier on sorry as I have to give exact numbers of members arriving at the house once the walk starts.
The walk ends at East Dulwich Station (Trains to London Bridge and other stations)
