SUMMARY:City Walk and Drink
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a fascinating walk and a little competition! \nStart: Business Centre  Chartered Accountants Hall at 5.30pm on Tuesday 3rd May \nBring a small team (3-5) or we will put you in teams. There will be a prize for the winning team! \nThe walk is approximately two miles and is suitable for people in wheelchairs. It will finish with drinks and canapes in the St Paul’s area. \nOn this walk you will discover how this square mile maintained a global empire through its control of trading\, skills and culture. See how formal trading was initially centred on 17th century coffee houses in alleys between the River Thames and the Royal Exchange.  Edward Lloyds’ Coffee House was the best attended and grew into a vital business in the City. Learn how the 110 livery companies controlled the skills of the traders through their guilds.  Find evidence of the Anglican church spreading its word through that very same trading empire and having its own impact. You will witness how the Square Mile first supported slavery and then mercifully turned its influence to abolish this abhorrent trade. To assist this narrative the walk will take you past The Bank of England\, the site of former coffee houses\, the offices of various City institutions\, The Mansion House\, Guildhall\, The London Stock Exchange and St Paul’s Cathedral.
