Quirky London Walks 4 : Trafalgar Square and Whitehall
This is a short walk for anyone who is in the area and has some time to kill. Starting at Trafalgar Square Joolz talks about London's Smallest Police Station, Nelson's Column, a big blue cock and how Walt Disney got the idea for Burt in Mary Poppins.
Then over to King Charles's statue, which kept getting moved around and stands in the exact centre of London.
Across the road to Admiralty Arch and one of the famous Noses of Soho.
Learn also how London got its pavements and what the curious mark on the kerb stone in Whitehall means. Then up Whitehall to Banqueting House where King Charles had his head chopped off!

![Londons City Wall and Barbican - Rather Splendid Walk
A tremendous walk around Londons rather splendid ancient city wall built by the Romans alongside the modern Barbecan centre.
We pass the panyer boy who marks the highest point in the city of London (or does he?).
Christchurch Greyfriars which was never rebuilt after the war. Watts memorial to self sacrifice, livery companies, a buried head of a king and Shakesperes house.
As usual there is a lot more with many interesting facts about London as we take a delightful walking tour around this area packed with London history.
