COME & EXPLORE OAK TOWN

Saturday March 9^th 2019, 1-3 pm

£10pp

Let's meet at 1 pm outside Acton Central Station, which splits the pretty Churchfield Road into two, and walk through Acton Park entering the same way as the annual Acton Carnival procession has entered the park over the recent years.

On the way we will see a brand new school and talk about the Goldsmiths’ Guild, the major benefactors of this part of the former London borough. We shall cross the east west through road, here known as The Vale heading towards Southfields Recreation Grounds which is situated on one of four ancient fields in Acton. The council bought in 1908 from Wilkinson Sword Co. who during World War 1 manufactured over two million bayonets on site.

Then we will stop to see St Peter’s Church which is especially popular with the Italian community and continue towards the long and curved Acton Lane to leave it soon for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Next we will make our way towards the same east west road which here uses the name of Acton High Street. We shall see more interesting edifices and ponder over the history of Berrymead Priory which was not really a priory. We will visit the newly open Arch Climbing Wall Centre. There will be some surprises on the way too! We will end up at The West London Trade Union Club and you are welcome to stay on and chill out over a drink but bring some food with you or buy some on the way. It's still £10 pp only, mind you!
