Exploring London on foot
Exploring London on Foot
Looking for New Members!
Are you looking for an interesting Group to join? Do you
enjoy walking? Do you like History? Architecture? Food?
Geography? Travelling by Train? Researching interesting
facts? Do you like London?
Then Exploring London on Foot could be the group for
you!
We meet five times a year to explore an area of London
chosen by one of the group members.
The walk is approximately 3 - 4 miles long and is taken at
a slow pace so that we can enjoy, discuss and assess the
area around us.
Jointly run between Heathfield and Mayfield U3A groups
we meet at a London Terminus or similar at 11am to join
the group.
We aim to catch the 4pm train home but you can stay on
in London to do your own thing if you wish.
Some walk leaders extend the walk for those who wish to
stay on. We aim to take advantage of concessionary rail
tickets.
We stop for coffee.
We stop for Lunch.
Every member is expected to offer a walk (jointly with a
friend from the group if you wish) so you should be
prepared to do this at some stage.
Doing the planning can be great fun.
Walks over the years have covered the following areas
and themes, but it doesn’t matter if you want to cover the
same ground again - there will be new routes and places
of interest:
Soho, Marylebone, Old Chelsea, Canary Wharf, Little
Venice, Inns of Court, Spitalfields and Whitechapel, the
Great Fire of London, Clerkenwell & Shoreditch, Chiswick,
Roman London, Brompton, Richmond, Bermondsey, The
02 to Thames Barrier and Mayfair.
You can use guide books or devise your own walks.
