It's slick, confident and well-healed. It's home to some of London's best shops and restaurants as well as the finest boutique hotels and luxury apartments.But like many parts of contemporary London in the past it was much more colourful.Join me to take a trip back to its early years and look at how it developed to become home to those who had so much as well as those who had so little.There will be the great homes of the aristocracy but also tales of the desperately poor. We'll meet real people who were stranger than fiction. There will be tales of debauchery and excess but also stories of great people trying to change things for the better.Join me on my new walk exploring one of the best areas of town.Reviews of some of Michael's walks:https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186338-d3742632-Reviews-Footprints_of_London-London_England.htmlEnjoyable and knowledgeableMichael was really excellent…knew lots of additional facts and information that really bright the tour to life!

He was able to bring the stories to life in a way that made the experience both informative and entertaining.Date of experience: March 2023"A fascinating walk , led by a very well-informed and most engaging guide, Michael Duncan.
