The Lord Mayor’s Show

supports this site

The 2012 Lord Mayor's Show is on Saturday 10 November from 11am.

Take the tour!

London is an ancient city. Everywhere you stand on the route of the Lord Mayor’s Show there are older cities under your feet, from Victorian cobbles back to Roman roads and buildings. Every stone and tree has a story and the City of London Guide Lecturers know them all.

On the afternoon of the Show, after the returning procession has passed and the crowd thinned a bit, head for No 1 Poultry. That's the big pink and yellow building opposite Mansion House, near Bank tube station. It's marked on the map.

Here once again you will find officially qualified members of the City of London Guide Lecturers Association ready and waiting to take you on very popular Free Guided Walks (any small charitable donation to the Lord Mayor's Appeal welcome) arriving at Blackfriars in plenty of time for the fireworks which are at 5pm.

Your qualified City Guide will lead you through the unique City of London, also known as the Square Mile. This fascinating area is full of contrasts. It is a 21st century financial centre as well as having a rich and varied history. You will discover modern architecture and ancient buildings with echoes of the past. Your Guide will take you to interesting places and tell you about the people and stories connected with them.

Everyone is welcome. The pace is gentle and suitable for all ages. The routes will be wheelchair friendly, with no steps and few hills. The walks are free, but any donations to the Lord Mayor's Appeal would be welcome.

The walks will start off at around 3pm. Come along and have fun and help us raise some money for charity!
