Join us for the first-ever edition of this 2.5-hour walking tour led by Unseen Tours, the award-winning social enterprise empowering people with lived experience of homelessness to become London tour guides.
Starting at Gordon Square and finishing at Seven Dials Market, this guided journey will take you through the hidden corners of Bloomsbury and Covent Garden—introducing you to inspiring local social enterprises tackling big issues such as homelessness, barriers to employment, and social inclusion.
You’ll visit innovative local organisations—meeting founders and staff who are using business as a force for good and discovering how these enterprises are shaping more inclusive, sustainable communities around UCL.
As this is the first ever student tour, you'll have the unique opportunity to help shape how future tours are run and co-create this offer. Your feedback will directly influence what comes next. Along the way, you’ll also learn about the history of social entrepreneurship, discover fun facts about the local area, and gain insights into the social issues affecting London today.
To thank you for your participation and feedback, you’ll receive a free hot drink at Redemption Roasters during the tour, plus an additional £10 to enjoy at Seven Dials Market afterwards.
Whether you’re curious about social entrepreneurship, looking to connect with others interested in social change, or simply want to see your city from a new perspective, this interactive experience promises an inspiring mix of learning, walking, and great food.
Please note that no money can be refunded if you do not show up on the day of the tour. Spaces are limited and we would like to ensure that all students who want to attend are able to, so please contact us in advance if plans change.
