Plan a walk to a place you pick. Start from where you are and choose how long you want to walk. Wanderwalk builds a one-off route past stories worth hearing on the way. You can browse nearby walks on the map. As you wander, you may hear a short heads-up that a story is coming. You can turn that off in Settings. Settings also shows how far you have walked and which stories you have heard. For Heritage Open Days, Bankside at work is free: ten overlooked lives from London’s Other Side, plus a short riverside walk. Bow Street still plays in full from anywhere. Tap any other story to hear a 20-second preview. Browsing does not start your free 15 minutes. That window starts when GPS plays your first London story as you walk. You can buy a 3-Day Pass, a 7-Day Pass or Annual membership. Sharing and Look Around are more reliable. The map follows you when you start a walk.
