Join the next two walks and talks!

Hello! How are you? I haven't been posting as much as in the past. Busy doing what I love and what I love less in order to do more of what I love. Let's meet in person and we can talk more then.

May I invite you to the next two walks with the Ealing Walking Talking and Exploring Group?

Talking & Exploring: Upcoming Tours, £10 pp ea. 

WHERE CHISWICK MEETS HAMMERSMITH, Saturday, February 23rd, 2019

Meet at Stamford Brook Station at noon on Saturday, 23rd February, for a walk towards the Thames through the tranquil St Peter's Square and past St Peter's Church with an intriguing sculpture outside. Enjoy the stroll along The Thames taking in the views and spotting blue plaques before visiting William Morris House. Next, take in more river views and walk back through a subway to look at the Hammersmith and Fulham Town Hall and Registry Office with its River God, The Quaker Meeting House and the site of a cinema. When in King's Street, we will see more and finish by exploring The Polish Cultural and Social Association (POSK) and relaxing there. We can seat and talk over some traditional Polish food at the cafe or restaurant at POSK!

LET US GO TO WALTHAMSTOW! Saturday, March 2nd 2019

Meet at 12 noon at Walthamstow Central Station for a stroll through the market, taking in the famous Pie and Mash shop. If you are hungry you can grab some lunch there or nearby. We will arrive at the William Morris House and Gallery around 1pm to see the permanent collection, as well as temporary exhibitions including the Chinese Cultural Revolution Posters. We will continue our tour with a visit to the Old Walthamstow Village, where we will see the Vestry House Museum, the 13th century St Mary’s Church and the timber-framed Ancient House dating back to the 15th century. On our way back to the station we will call at God’s Own Junkyard and we expect the tour to finish at around 5pm.

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!
