The Ancient House, Walthamstow | London’s Oldest House
In E17 you'll find an extraordinarily old home, quite possibly the oldest in London! Ever heard of The Ancient House in Walthamstow?...
Following the latest government announcement, I hope to be able to run face-to-face tours again from mid-April.
Given that the restrictions lifting are dependant on the ongoing vaccine progress and numbers of cases, I hope by mid March that I can give you a firm answer and open bookings.
Series Six of my virtual tours is on sale and starts Wednesday 17 March. Find out more here.
