Doing the Lambeth walk
Walking and talking all things Lambeth
Do you love local London history and culture and want to share it more widely?
Why not study to become an accredited Lambeth Tour Guide and lead your own tours in Lambeth, where amongst other things, you can show visitors how to find the best Portuguese Natas (custard tarts) and authentic Caribbean curries, sandwiched in between 1000 years of London history.
Lambeth is one of London’s most culturally diverse boroughs, with its own rich history and the Lambeth Tour Guide Association is a group of qualified guides working to ensure high quality tours for all visitors to the borough.
Morley College London is delighted to offer in partnership with the Lambeth Tour Guide Association, a one-year course leading to full accreditation as a Lambeth tour guide. Once accredited, students can plan and lead their own tours around the borough.
Lambeth Tour Guide course is ideal for anyone who is interested in local history or wants to gain accreditation as a tour guide. Students learn how to plan, prepare, and deliver guided tours, both as walking tours and as virtual presentations.
It mixes in class tuition with learning about Lambeth’s diverse history, architecture, tourist attractions and facilities. Starting this September 2023, the course consists of 30 evening sessions, on a Thursday and 15 sessions on Saturday mornings or afternoons.
What are you waiting for? Last year’s students all celebrated with a graduation as the guest of the Mayor of Lambeth at Lambeth town hall.
