Wear firm soles
City pavements, cobbles and occasional steps demand sturdy walking shoes to stay sure-footed at night.
Bring a small torch
A compact flashlight helps navigate dark alleys and read plaques without blinding others—avoid strong flashes near church interiors.
Use public transport
Arrive by Tube (Bank, St Paul’s or Farringdon) to avoid searching for parking in the congested City at night.
Be respectful at memorials
This tour visits graves and plague pits—observe quietly, limit group noise, and do not touch fragile stones or displays.
