  • Course Content


    This Autumn term, our sessions will explore the theme of Changing London. Each week, we'll uncover how different parts of the city have been transformed over the past 25 years. From the redevelopment of King's Cross and Barking Riverside to the revival of Battersea Power Station, the evolution of Croydon, Canary Wharf, and Imperial Wharf, we'll see how London has continually reshaped itself. Using old photographs, we'll trace the city's past, comparing historic views with today's landscapes.

    Each walk lasts just under two hours, covering 2–3 miles at a gentle pace. Alongside historical insights, the walks are highly sociable, offering plenty of opportunity for friendly conversation. All walks begin and end close to a London Underground station or convenient bus stop for easy access.
