London Walks


The dates of the London walks have now been agreed as follows:

Tuesday 17th July: the Capital ring section from Highgate to Aldeny Cemetery. Starting at Highgate Station walk along a green way to Finsbury park where there is a cafe, boating lake and swans. The walk follows the New River to Clissold Park and the climbing centre, there is a small zoo in the park as well as a cafe and toilets. The walk ends at one of the oldest cemeteries in London and the founders of the Salvation Army are buried there. The total walk distance eis about 5 miles but it is flat. The 106 bus takes us to Finsbury Park Station (and the Arsenal shop) and we can then either have meal out or come home. It is possible to take photographs at Kings Cross Station.

Tuesday 14th August: Legal London, from St.Paul's to the Inner Temple. Starting at St. Paul's Cathedral the walk goes into Fleet Street via The Bridewell Theatre with interesting statues above the shops as well as little alley ways leading to pubs. From there we can have coffee in the Royal Courts of Justice ( NO PHOTOGRAPHS INSIDE) and cross over to the Inner Temple. After we can walk along the embankment to Tower Bridge and St. Katherine's dock.

Thursday 2nd August: As this is a walk we have done before, Michael Shaw is prepared to lead an additional walk along the River Wandle. The distance is 4.5 miles, the book says there are cafes etc along the way.

All these dates are now in the programme/calendar


Guildhall Print Battle at High Wycombe


Click here to see the results. Very amusing and competent judge, Tony Charters from Woking PS; he pointed out that light through a stained glass window onto the floor was a ‘projection’ not a ‘reflection’. We may need to take this definition on board in the Albert Beale Trophy.
