Hello and welcome to LUA. This walk is circular, that begins and ends in Camden.

Some of the featured stories from this event are the Camden Catacombs, Gilbeys Gin, egg cups, river in a pipe, a 314 AD church, Hardy's tree, turntables, ice traders, Oscar Wilde's desperate hotel refuge, indoor carnivals, artist rifle volunteers, wrong statues, a rare local mural, train towing, comedy radio tube stations, nationality war pubs, playright thoughts of strangulation, plus more...

Walks go ahead except for abnormal conditions. Please dress for the occasion. Bringing water and snacks is useful.

The walks are medium pace with intermittent local knowledge stops. It is your responsibility to keep the main group in view. As mentioned above, clicking the Glympse link shows you a map where we are during the walk if you become slightly detached. Our frequent stops allow you time to catch up.

Afterwards, some of us stop for refreshment and socialising in a nearby local, Wetherspoon's where possible. Or you may wish to explore the Camden Market.

There is a £10 cash/card charge for this event.

Don’t forget to cancel via the “Edit RSVP” button if you can’t make a walk. Please do this well in advance when you know, so it allows good notice for someone else to take your place.

Attendee numbers are always a concern for walk hosts whether large or small. We set an upper limit of 35 which is manageable if all attend, and also allows for minor drop out rates.

Walks are always a good place to chat with new members or catch up with old friends. If you can make it, we look forward to seeing you.
Best wishes. Steve.
