The British Postal Museum & Archive (BPMA) develops a guided walk exploring over 100 years of British history through the Post Office buildings, letter boxes and telephone kiosks which have helped shape the face of the capital. The tour starts at Farringdon Station and finishes on London Bridge.
The notable sites visited on the tour are: Postman’s Park and Post Office Court, the former GPO Headquarters at Lombard Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, King Edward Building (the former Chief Post Office now occupied by Merrill Lynch), the Central Telegraph Office where Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated wireless telegraphy to William Preece, Engineer to the GPO.
These in-depth tours and sessions offer an unrivaled opportunity to experience postal history first-hand under the expert guidance of our curatorial team. The tours last around 3 hours and are conducted by BPMA Curators. For more information and booking details please visit the website.
