Walks programme - guide round london Geoffrey Warr
Greater London Walks Programme
These walks are intended for individuals - do join us!. They are part of a series that has been running now for 18 years and illustrate the repertoire of nearly 100 walks in central and outer London that I have built up during this time. I am very happy to offer these and similar walks to groups by arrangement. The gallery to the left illustrates scenes from recent walks. Click on the images to enlarge and identify them.
| Wednesday 17th March St Pancras Meet at Russell Square station (Piccadilly line). Two and a half centuries ago this parish was the northernmost extent of London and became colonized by hospitals such as the Foundlings’, the Great Ormond Street and even one for horses and then developed as the point of arrival of the railways. | Wednesday 24th March Soho Meet at Leicester Square station (Northern/Piccadilly lines) for a very discreet saunter through one of London's most cosmopolitan districts, ending in Carnaby Street, now celebrating its 50th anniversary. | Wednesday 31st March Fitzrovia Meet above Regent’s Park station (Bakerloo line) for an afternoon in a district once populated by Constable, Landseer, Dickens, Bernard Shaw and Marie Stopes, to name but a few. | Wednesday 14th April A Dickensian Walk Meet above Chancery Lane station (Central line) to trace Dickens's early working life and seek out Fagin's kitchen, Bleeding Heart Yard and The Saracen's Head among places featured in his novels. | Wednesday 21st April Wapping and Shadwell Meet at Tower Hill station (District & Circle lines) for a walk through the old St Katharine’s and London Docks and possibly terminating in Execution Dock. | Wednesday 28th April Hampton Court & Bushy Park Meet at Hampton Court station. Trains from Clapham Junction platform 9 are at 19 minutes past and from platform 11 at 45 minutes past the hour, journey time 25 minutes. We shall explore the Wilderness and the Green before crossing to Bushy Park which should be at its best in azalea time. | Wednesday 5th May Isleworth, Syon and Brentford Meet at Isleworth station (trains from Clapham Junction platforms 5/6 at 2, 17, 32 and 47 minutes past the hour, journey time 25 minutes) for a stroll through suburban, park and dockland landscapes. | Wednesday 12th May Chiswick & Hammersmith Meet at Chiswick station (trains from Clapham Junction platforms 5/6 at 2, 17, 32 and 47 minutes past the hour, journey time 15 minutes) for a walk across the park of Chiswick House, where the gardens are undergoing a £12m restoration, through the old village and along Chiswick Mall to Hammersmith. | Walks start at 2.00pm and last 2 to 2½ hours. They take place regardless of the weather. The guiding fee is £6 per person (£5 for regular participants) per walk, payable on the day. There is no need for individuals to book for these walks and all are welcome to join them. For advice on the day please phone 07711 938 748. |
