About us

Walking the Past is the creation of three Londoners, born and bred, who have always enjoyed exploring cities and towns across the world and wish to share with others their passion for historical walks. Brought up on I-Spy books, Look and Learn magazine and Blue Peter TV programme, they still get a buzz, excitement and thrill from discovering hidden architectural gems, getting off the beaten track, and learning history in a fun way.

Creating our London Walking Guides has been a labour of love. Together we have plotted and mapped each walk; taken the photographs; written the text; and compiled the quiz challenges.

We hope that you will enjoy the walks as much as we do.
Michael, John and Lionel
