Exploring the lost Walbrook River
– A SAVE & LFA Walking Tour through the hidden heart of the City

Last seen more than six centuries ago, the hidden currents of the Walbrook still flow beneath the modern streetscape of the City of London. Follow its forgotten path, threading through the ever-changing urban fabric from Shoreditch to the Thames itself. Along this journey, we delve into the historical, cultural, and architectural layers that define its course, culminating in a rendezvous on the Thames foreshore.
