It was full of seasonal advice, of prophecy, traditional wisdom, and important events past and future. Different cultures, religions and institutions had their own methods of organisation and celebrations. We explore the varied calendars that ruled people&#8217;s lives from the prehistoric period to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way we look at customs, and folklore of the Celts, Romans, Saxons, and into the Medieval and Modern period. We look at different calendars such as the Pagan year, the Egyptian year, the Roman, Christian, Jewish, Church and Financial years.  On the route we discover the people who lived in London and walk through fascinating areas with their deep histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a London Walks Guided Walk.
