This is a repeat of the cancelled walk due to the heat wave
A London Region walk guided by Freda Dahl-Nielsen.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a walk is good for your health and so come along to places that those fictional heroines in Regency novels but more surprisingly how Jane Austen – one of our most famous authors would have known. Her brother Henry and cousin Eliza had lived and been a part of, and mixed with, London Society. So, you will explore – from Hanoverian celebrations in Green Park to girls being presented at St. James Palace, to the shops and clubs that abound in St. James. To balls and boxing and ice-cream and like any good romantic novel a church frequently used for weddings.
MEETING PLACE: The Diana Statue in Green Park. It is located just outside the South exit (the Buckingham Palace exit) of Green Park tube station which leads directly into the park. There is a small food kiosk located next to the statue. Green Park station is on the Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines.
Finish – St. George’s Church, Hanover Square. Nearest underground Oxford Circus on the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines.
Maximum 15 participants.
