Perhaps you  associate pilgrimage  with rural areas rather  than with the big city. Yet to discover a city from a pilgrim’s perspective has its very own charm.

We invite you to put on your hiking shoes and to join us on this spiritual journey, in collaboration with Reverend Michael Schaar from the Pilgrimage Centre in Zurich.  The  Zurich group  will travel to London  to experience our city in a new light.

It would be great if some members of the Swiss Church, London and the  wider Swiss community in London could join our friends from Zurich  to build new friendships,  and tell our visitors more about life in London.
