Tim's Walks: London by Gaslight from the Ritz to the Savoy

Please read all details carefully

Join Tim on a walk through nineteenth century London in the warm glow of Victorian gaslights and evoke the light and atmosphere of the past.

For most of the nineteenth century London was lit by gas. Revolutionary at the time it transformed the city, making the city streets much safer. Remarkably 1500 of these lights still remain, mainly in Westminster.

On our walk we will learn how to recognise a genuine gas lamp from their many imitations and appreciate the distinctive light they cast. We will walk through royal parks, past some of the greatest houses in London and explore the tiny alleyways of Covent Garden. We´ll even see the only light powered by rich people´s poo.
