Animal History of London guided walk for World Animal Day Sunday 30 September (Kensington Gardens to Piccadilly Circus)
11am start (approx. 3.5 hours, maximum 20 people on walk).
Following our London support group’s Animal History of London guided walk for World Animal Day last October, we’re running it again this year.
Dogs are very welcome on the first of these walks, which is mainly through the Royal Parks with only a small amount of time on the streets. While the second walk is also through two parks, it goes through Whitehall and up the The Mall, so if your dog is not used to walking in London, we don’t recommend she or he coming on the second walk.
Adult £19, children (under 16) £9, family of four £52 (two adults/two children under 16), children under 10 free.
