Follow in the footsteps of an 18th-century revolutionary who transformed religious practice across Britain and beyond. From the stirring site of his evangelical conversion at Aldersgate (marked today by the "Aldersgate Flame" bronze sculpture) to St Paul's Cathedral where Wesley worshipped before his spiritual awakening - each location reveals another chapter in this extraordinary man's journey.
Discover where Wesley preached after being debarred in St Bartholomew the Great Parish Church, visit his meticulously preserved home, and pay respects at his final resting place. The tour brings to life not only Wesley's personal story but also the vibrant religious landscape of Georgian London.
The full route takes approximately 2½ hours without stops, making it perfect for history enthusiasts, spiritual pilgrims, or anyone seeking a unique perspective on London's past. Each site features informative plaques or displays, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world that shaped the Methodist movement's birth.
Walking Wesley's Way isn't just a historical tour – it is an opportunity to connect with a spiritual legacy that continues to inspire millions worldwide.
