LESLEY’S WALKS IN LONDON NEIGHBOURHOODS
I specialise in guided history walks in local neighbourhoods in inner London. I am a qualified local guide for the boroughs of Camden and Islington, having successfully completed the Clerkenwell and Islington Guiding course in 2019 and the Camden Tour Guides course in 2023. My walks focus mostly on these boroughs and also include adjacent parts of the City and Hackney.
For email updates about upcoming walks and tours, send a brief message to walk@lesleythompson.co.uk
