Turnham Green - William Hogarth FRSA, Earl Burlington and Possum Trot

Turnham Green - William Hogarth FRSA, Earl Burlington and much more

This walk is presented by Central London Humanists and led by Robert Hall. Humanists believe we have just one life to be lived rationally and well, with compassion for others.

This event is an informative guided walk of +/- 2 hours walking 5 Km / 3 miles.

Please note that in comparison with previous walks this is longer than usual - 6 Km (3 miles) - and will be walked at a moderate pace with fewer stops befitting a mid-November autumnal walk. We'll view two fine houses, two parks, a temple and catch a quick glimpse of the Thames. At one stop you may feel you have been transported to Egypt! The pub at the end hosts a theatre and you may wish to stay to see "Possum Trot" at 6 pm.

Date: Saturday 15th November 2025

Time: 2 pm with a prompt departure at 2.15 pm

Place: Meet across the road from Turnham Green station exit. (District and Piccadilly lines).

The formal bit:
These walks are not suitable for dogs, sorry.

CLH events are 18+ unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The maximum group size is 40 people. If you have signed up but find you can't attend, please change your RSVP on Meetup (it’s very easy to do) as soon as possible so others can join.

You are responsible for your own actions and safety; there is no liability on the walk leader or CLH for anything that may happen on the walk.
You must be able to keep up with the walk leader at 4 Km/h (2.5 mph) for 5 Km (3 miles). It is participants' responsibility to safely cross roads. Where appropriate, pedestrian controlled lights will be used and obeyed unless it is obvious that the whole group can cross safely. When the group stops at a point of interest, please be mindful not to block pavements so members of the public can pass by safely.

Don’t forget this is the UK and it may rain at any time! The walk will go ahead whatever the weather unless conditions are dangerous so please bring clothing for all seasons.

A donation of £3 to Central London Humanists would be appreciated.
