I gave a walk around William the Conqueror's London on Saturday for London Walks - part of my series of walks on English Kings, following the publication of my book on the Kings and Queens of England. The walk was essentially about Late Saxon and Norman London. I began with a brief introduction to Saxon London, and then we went to see the London Wall and the Tower of London. The route was: Tower Hill City Wall Postern Gate Tower Moat White Tower Tower Hill All Hallows by the Tower saxon Arch Customs House Billingsgate London Bridge Dowgate St Michael's College Hill Cannon St Cheapside Old Jewry St Lawrence Guildhall You'll find an image of Will the Conq on the following page: English and Its Historical Development, Part 18 (Norman Invasion and Conquest by William the Conqueror).

I organised a walk for 90 children from a Hounslow Primary School. It went really, really well. We had 4 guides and stopped half way round in St Bartholemew#s. Kids were really enthusiastic and the route well planned and with the stop at st Barts, their attention span was increased so that all 3 parts of the walk worked. Part 1 Charterhouse, Smithfield Part 2 - Drawing in St Barts Part 3 - Smithfield to St Pauls Walk Lunch Part 4 short walk around St Pauls John Rogers (Bible editor and martyr) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
