Walk Starts: In the churchyard of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, EC2M 3TL.

Walk ends: St Paul's

Halfway stop at the Royal Exchange for baby change. At this time you will be given 40 minutes to change baby at your own pace and get something to eat and drink at one of the many outlets around Bank before meeting the guide back at The Royal Exchange to resume the walk.

This walk has been written and is guided by City of London guide and co-author of 'Women from Hackney's History', Sue Doe.

Walk description:

-The church where two early feminists - Mary Wollstonecraft and Emilia Lanier - were baptised.

- Evidence of Eleanor Coade’s work.

- The troublesome nuns of St Helen’s.

- Where the notorious  Moll Cutpurse was tried by a church court.

- A suffragette running a successful business before she could vote.

- Where 17th century brothel madam Elizabeth Cresswell ran part of her business.

- Women’s role in the Bank of England.

- Suffragettes at Mansion House.

- Where the first female stockbroker worked.

Queens, martyrs, criminals, bankrupts…And many examples of businesswomen from centuries ago - yes, they did exist and there are more being discovered every day.

Winner of 'Best Parent Activity' at the 'Bablands Awards', 'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.

You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.

Important notes about booking:

Please feel free to invite baby-free friends.

If on the day of the walk we are forecast to have very bad weather, I may have to postpone the walk. If it's a bit of light rain we will cope!

Every walk follows the usual health and safety guidelines, such as crossing at traffic lights where possible and having hazards pointed out to you at the start and along the route.

There may be times we have to stand in direct sunlight (although I will always choose shade where possible). Please bring all the necessary sun protection for yourself and your child.

It is recommended you bring appropriate drinks and snacks for the duration of the walk, especially if the walk takes place at lunchtime.

I will contact you with booking confirmation after you book. I will supply my mobile number in case of emergencies or in case you are running late. I will also ask you to provide me with a mobile number so you can be contacted for the purposes of the walk, but this is *not for marketing purposes*. Please note that if you are more than a few minutes late I may ask you to catch up with us.

Customer refunds must be requested at least 24 hours before an event starts. We cannot guarantee you can move your ticket to another date but you are welcome to enquire at Lucy@bringyourbaby.org

If for any reason Bring Your Baby Ltd are forced to cancel or postpone an event (for example in the case of illness or extreme weather conditions), you are within your rights to request a refund, though we will always suggest an alternative date for you to attend.
