Walk For Jo Cox with Dr Stephen King

In honour of Refugee Week 2024

Inspired by the late Jo Cox MP 

Over many centuries Borough & Bankside has welcomed new arrivals from around the globe.

This tour explores Borough & Bankside’s rich history of immigration and the positive impact it has had on the area, from inspiring Shakespeare to flavouring Bankside’s beers.

The walk lasts about 90 - 120 minutes and is a gentle stroll around Borough, Bankside and London Bridge. 

The guided walk is led by qualified tour guide Dr Stephen King (@stevedoestours) and is hosted by Living Bankside.

All monies raised will be used by Living Bankside to support those forced to flee their country including those from Ukraine, Afghanistan and elsewhere, through opportunities which connect them to their local community.

Please donate - The Walk is free but a donation is expected
