From the many that catered for the City’s population sprang the Stock Exchange, Lloyds of London, the Baltic Exchange, auctioneers, scientific and philosophical societies and clubs.They brought people together, to talk and share ideas and news.They acted as employment exchanges, post offices and travel agents.The alleyways of Cornhill were the site of eight of the most important, and there are still signs of them in the City today.I’ll tell some stories of the businesswomen, and weave in those from Hackney who have emerged from recent research.Stops include:- The Royal Exchange- The Bank of England- Cornhill- Site of Garraways Coffeehouse, and the story of an eminent transvestite- Site of Jonathan’s Coffeehouse- Site of Lloyds Coffeehouse- Lombard Street and the beginning of modern banking- Lloyds of London- The Gherkin/Baltic Exchange site- Devonshire Square- Jamaica Wine House, originally the oldest coffeehouse in The City.If on the day of the walk we are forecast to have very bad weather, I may have to postpone the walk. If it's a bit of light rain we will cope!Every walk follows the usual health and safety guidelines, such as crossing at traffic lights where possible and having hazards pointed out to you at the start and along the route.There may be times we have to stand in direct sunlight (although I will always choose shade where possible). Please bring all the necessary sun protection for yourself and your child.It is recommended you bring appropriate drinks and snacks for the duration of the walk.I will contact you with booking confirmation after you book. I will supply my mobile number in case of emergencies or in case you are running late. I will also ask you to provide me with a mobile number so you can be contacted before, during or after the walk, but this is *not for marketing purposes*.If you like the look of any of my walks, but would prefer to book me privately, please make enquiries at Lucy@bringyourbaby.org.

Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.As a local historian and also a recent new mother, I noticed there was a real absence of activities for parents and carers to enjoy something stimulating for both brain and body while caring for baby.The focus of these walks is enjoyment: gaining new local history knowledge and exploring the outdoors, while at the same time feeling unpressured when baby’s needs arise.Everyone who comes along is welcome to stop as they need to comfort, feed and change. Either we can stop as a group, or you can use the map provided to rejoin us further along the route. There are many stops, and always lots to see and hear about, so it is always easy to catch up.I will always add a pit-stop halfway through (such as a cafe or pub large enough to accommodate us) so that we can take a breather and meet baby’s needs at this time if it hasn’t been required earlier.Adults £20; children go free.Lucy Madison is a life-long London history nerd and mum to 4 year-old Evan.

We just take as long as everyone needs. If we visit a park or green space, there are almost always plentiful benches or grassy spots depending on your level of comfort feeding or changing there. You can always request to stop somewhere convenient outside of these times. Patience is at the forefront of these walks.Since having my baby I need to rest quite often. Will there be places to sit down?I always try to arrange stops at points of interest along the route at places where there is a bench, wall or other suitable area to perch! Though this is not possible at every stop, it is something I consider when planning every walk - I had a Caesarian myself, and remember the need for respite!I’m embarrassed to ask the group to slow down or stop when I need to use the loo / feed or change baby / have a rest.You never need to feel embarrassed, guilty or stressed in asking the group to stop or slow down for any reason. That's what Bring Your Baby is all about. Simply make me aware and I’ll modify what we’re doing at the time to meet your needs.How long are the walks?Approximate distances and durations are indicated on each listing and I shall remind you when the walk starts. No walk is ever over 2 miles. Owing to the nature of these walks it may be we need more time to complete the walk if stoppages are needed.I’m bringing my baby, but can I also bring my other children?My walks are often a great learning opportunity for children, particularly if we visit green spaces with plenty of natural sensory elements. However it is the parent or carer's responsibility to ensure their children are safe, particularly near roads.Will I be able buy food along the way?Packed food, drink and snacks are always recommended as we are being active and you may get hungry! However, snacks, tea and coffee etc. can be purchased at the place we stop at halfway for refreshment.Can I come on your walk if I don’t bring children?Unfortunately not. These walks have been designed to provide something unique for parents and carers of small children. Therefore I have to prioritise and cater for this group only. This does not mean there is a limit to the number of adults you can bring - mum, dad, childminder and granny all welcome as long as there is a child! All adults need to be paying ticket holders.Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?No, I'll have you already on my list.What is the refund policy?Refunds need to be requested with 24-hours notice. In some circumstances I will allow you to attend a future walk instead with your ticket if you cancel at late notice.Will the walk be cancelled if it rains?Walks go ahead in light rain, but heavy rain or high winds are not safe for taking babies out on guided walks, so in this circumstance the walk would be postponed. You can request a full refund if you can't make an alternative date.I can’t make your date. Will you be repeating the walk?Walks generally get repeated every month or so. The more popular ones such asSuffragettes' East LondonandNursery Rhymes Londonget repeated more frequently.Where can I contact you with any questions?Drop me a line atLucy@bringyourbaby.org" } ] } ] ```
