Walks

Walking Holborn

inholborn’s programme of guided walks is extremely popular. People are clearly keen to know more about Holborn’s place within London and to gain an insight into its historical and cultural significance. Many BID members have really got behind the programme, stocking the leaflets in their reception areas and many employees regularly join the lunchtime walks.

inholborn also arranges bespoke walks, and new starter induction walks for new employees joining businesses based in Holborn. We can also offer walks to tie in with specific organisations and events.

Lunchtime walks

These entertaining and educational walks are led by Aly Mir, a professional guide and history graduate with an unparalleled knowledge of Holborn’s fascinating past.

Most start at 1 pm outside Holborn Underground station and take 45 minutes, unless otherwise specified. You can download a leaflet for the current programme of walks here. Or pick one up at the inholborn kiosk.
