Walk for April 2015 - 'Women through time - Inspiring change'

The sun was shining when Tina Baxter from 'Footprints of London' took us for a walk around London with inspirational women as the theme.

We started at the Guildhall and walked around the City of London to hear the stories of the courageous and forward thinking women such as Elizabeth Fry, Emmeline Pankhurst, Boudicca and Mrs Beeton. Tina kept us captivated with her stories of the women by using plaques, buildings, statutes and parks as prompts. We finished our walk at St Paul's Cathedral where we stumbled across 'Shaun the sheep' as part of the Shaun in the City trail.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Pizza Express before heading back on the District line.
