The walk took place last week and started at the lender’s offices on Cannon Street, then went to the first milestone Covent Garden going up to Hyde Park and then back to Marble Arch.
The group stopped off at Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament all the way over to London Bridge and the Shard before passing the Tower of London to get back to Cannon Street.
The walk took around four hours, with some employees completing the walk in inflatable Santa suits.
The company raised £7,140 from 147 supporters for Change Please, above its £6,000 target.
Change Please is a social enterprise that supports the homeless and offers them a training programme to become a barista. The team also supports each individual with housing, onward employment and health problems.

The team really want to actively make a difference, and this event for us was the first step in achieving this.”
