What people have said about our walks:
"Thank you for running the recent Museum Mile Day. It was a wonderful experience and I got to visit several museums I had always meant to get to but never have (the amazing Sir John Soane's House & Charles Dickens House), as well as several that were unknown to me such as the intriguing UCL Museum Collections. It was a great taster of such a variety of London Icons and Aly Mir was an excellent guide throughout the day. An Inspired event."
Patti Madden, local resident, November 2008
