OUR SERVICES
The STGA has five years experience of taking tours for schools, businesses, visitors and local people. The diversity of Southwark has something to excite everyone. We can create a tour to meet your particular interests or you may just want to enjoy the fascination of the riverside, the history, the views and the cultural riches of one of London's oldest quarters and newest successes.

RECREATIONAL WALKS |
||
An hour or two exploring both the evident and the hidden gems of Southwark will leave you feeling informed, entertained and all the better for the fresh air and exercise! Walks can be from 1-3 hours - or more if you save your breath. |

EDUCATIONAL TOURS |
||
|
Winchester Palace |
Southwark is the ideal place for illustrating and developing aspects of the National Curriculum in geography, history, literacy and citizenship. We can link with visits to the museums and galleries and their educational programmes. (See also Safe Routes to School, below) Walks for schools are typically of 2 hours duration for groups of up to 30 and can be themed to embrace topics of particular interest to the class. |

HEALTHY (AND SAFE) WALKING
|
||
|
Whether you have been prescribed exercise or not, the chances are you're not doing enough! If you have a medical condition, get proper advice - but you can be pretty sure that exercise will be recommended. What better way to persuade yourself to take the plunge than to plan a healthy stroll in recovery and discovery. Kids are some of the worst offenders when it comes to avoiding walking and perhaps we make matters worse by stressing the dangers of negotiating roads and traffic. STGA has contributed to 'Safe Routes to School' initiatives by leading walks illustrating the value of alertness, observance and rules of safe walking. Walks can be arranged for groups to suit their needs and ambitions. |

CORPORATE (STAFF INDUCTION) |
||
|
Hays Galleria |
Responsible businesses like to settle their staff into new surroundings, see them motivated, and get them to know the communities in which they operate. There is no better way to integrate new staff than to enable them to discover for themselves, with the aid of a guide, the riches on offer in Southwark. We suggest a 1-2 hour walk. |
|
|
CORPORATE (ENTERTAINING) |
||
|
Business visitors are looking not just at the company they are seeing but also at the company it keeps! Whether you are hosting an event or just an important meeting, your clients or partners will love to see how you live. Believe us, Southwark will create the right impression. Why not discuss a walk and any other arrangements with us?
