We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.Both buggies and slings/carriers suitable - we plan all our walks to be step-free. I had a Caesarian and was unable to wear a sling, so we completely understand the need to make all our walks buggy-friendly. Sometimes it's helpful for people who are able to wear a sling/carrier pack to one in their buggy in case baby needs a cuddle during the walk, but there is no obligation to do so!Walk Starts: Walk Starts: Please meet at Green Park station, Piccadilly, London W1J 9DZ and meet under the awning/bus shelter of Green Park Station (Green Park side). If you are coming via tube to Green Park underground station (step free), follow the signs for Green Park/The Ritz and head up the the ramp. Leave the park onto Piccadilly, and look for us under the awning/bus shelter directly outside.Walk Ends: Near Oxford Circus tube.With a stop after about an hour for toilets and baby change at The Royal Academy (Burlington House). At the same time you will also have a break to get refreshment and/or food at one of the many outlets on Piccadilly before regrouping with the guide to resume the walk. The shop at The Royal Academy also has some great gift ideas at Christmas.What you will discover on this walk - through the festively decorated streets of London, and past some of the most Christmassy shopfronts you're likely to find!- Why Fortnum and Mason’s early 20th century hampers would be illegal now.- The shops that developed to serve the men at the Court of St James.- Who makes Lady Gaga’s corsets.- Where you can buy a gun for your shooting parties; wine from a centuries old shop; cigars from Churchill’s tobacconist; bespoke shirts, shoes and dressing gowns; cologne that James Bond wears (if he was real that is).- Who polished his boots with champagne.- How to behave in Burlington Arcade.- Where the Prince Regent found out how much he weighed.- Where both Indiana Jones’s and Charlie Chaplin’s hats came from.- Who makes royal uniforms.- The place where those swinging in the Sixties dressed.- How to follow your nose to the cheese in Jermyn Street.This walk will be guided by City of London guide, Sue Doe, who also co-wrote Women from Hackney's History.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, especially if the walk takes place at lunchtime.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.

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" } ] } ] ```
