Bu etkinlik hakkında

This special walking tour takes us in the footsteps of John Wesley. Well away from the usual crowds and tourist hotspots in London, we will walk through some of the most historic parts of Roman, Medieval, Georgian and Victorian London. Along the way we will visit the home of John Wesley and the adjoining chapel as well as visiting other historic sites on a 3 hour tour including locations where Wesley would preach in the open air, where he went to school and the spot of his conversion at the home of John Bray. The tour also visits a number of beautiful old churches, parks and ruins as well as other places of religious significance. You don’t have to be a Methodist to appreciate this tour, anyone who wants to get away from the busy sights for a few hours and follow in the footsteps of one of the most renowned figures in history will no doubt enjoy the Methodist Tour of London a great deal.
