Experience Overview:
Boxing Day Victorian Christmas Guided Walking Tour In The City Of LondonIt is on this guided walk we delve into what makes a Victorian Christmas and explore well known traditions which may be older than you think.
The City of London is awash with narrow alleyways reminding us of its historic past and it is on this walk where we have the opportunity to explore their evocative nature.
The walk starts at St Paul's cathedral, through old streets of London, exploring lives the Victorians at Christmas, dipping into Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.
At the beginning of the 19th century Christmas was hardly celebrated. Many businesses did not even consider it a holiday. But by the end of the century it had become the biggest annual celebration and took on the form we recognise today.
