It is said that St Brides was the inspiration for the first ever tiered wedding cake. Created by apprentice baker William Rich in the 1700s.

Another excellent tour by Steve. In-depth research means there are unexpected points of history, detailed anecdotes and accompanying images, photos and maps. These bring the area to life and make for a hugely enjoyable walk
Having enjoyed the wonderful Hammersmith to Chiswick tour. I was delighted to find Steve’s tour exploring the opposite direction along the majestic River Thames. Steve is a gifted storyteller and I have learned so much about London, and the Thames’s industrial heritage. Thank you Steve and Voicemap. Now time for a beer!
