In the Footsteps of John Wesley
A tour through some of the most historic yet least visited parts of London — for anyone who wants to escape the crowds and travel back through two thousand years of history
John Wesley is one of the most remarkable figures in British history — the founder of Methodism, a tireless preacher who travelled vast distances on horseback and addressed enormous crowds in the open air at a time when most clergymen never left their parishes. His influence on British society, on the working class, on education, on social reform, and on the religious culture of America and the world was extraordinary and enduring.
This private walking tour follows Wesley through the parts of London that shaped him — well away from the usual tourist hotspots, through some of the most historically rich streets in the city. Ancient churches, beautiful parks, Roman ruins and Georgian terraces provide the backdrop to a life story of remarkable power and influence. The tour ends where Wesley himself rests — at the chapel he built and called home.
