We will be welcoming Becky Laxton-Bass from Women in London to our July meeting to tell us about some of Lewisham’s influential women.
Becky was born in London and is passionate about history. Tour guiding seemed like the perfect job. Becky began guiding over 7 years ago whilst studying history at university and made it her full time job on graduation. The only downside was that she felt not enough women’s history was being discussed. So, in 2018 she launched Women Of London to challenge this. As the company founder she spends most of her time growing the company and managing tour bookings and requests. She still finds the time to host occasional tours and continue sharing the stories of women throughout history.
More information to come soon on this year’s picnic but for now please keep from 3pm on Sunday 26th July free if you can – we’d love you to join us.
