Our group meets quarterly to visit a less-well-known part of London with its own special character, looking at the area’s history and architecture.  We use public transport and time the walks to allow use of off-peak tickets, usually  buying Travelcards or using the “4 for the price of 2” offer.  Our walks can be up to 5 miles long and may contain hills, so participants need a reasonable level of fitness, as well as suitable clothing and footwear.  These are not professionally guided walks; the leaders do their best and are glad for you to add comments from your own knowledge as we go along.  You are responsible for your own safety, including sometimes finding your own way home.  Despite this there is a £2.00 contribution to the leader’s research costs.  Depending on the local facilities there may be a coffee stop, but there will always be an opportunity to buy lunch.  Some walks continue after lunch, but that is optional, and members may prefer to head off to enjoy other attractions elsewhere in London.
