'Wren's City Churches' Guided Walk

'Wren's City Churches' Guided Walk

Sun, Sep 6, 12:30 PM
From The London Cultureseekers Group
4.6

Come along on Sunday 6th September at 1:30pm for a guided walk around the City on the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren. **About the walk** I will be guiding you around the City of London to see and go inside some of the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666. I will talk about Wren himself, his two assistants; Nicholas Hawksmoor and Robert Hooke, each church's architecture, it's history, the churches that were here before 1666, the Great Fire of London and the damage done during the Blitz of WW2. Hopefully we will be able to go inside a few to view them from inside. Christopher Michael Wren (1632 - 1723), was born in East Knoyle, Wiltshire and is one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history. He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including his masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, on Ludgate Hill. Other notable buildings by Wren include the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, and the south front of Hampton Court Palace. The guided walk will be led by myself. The walk lasts about 2 hours and finishes near St. Paul's Cathedral. **Payment** Full Members of the group will be free, everyone else the cost is £7 per person (payable by cash or credit card on the day). **Become a Full Member** To become a Full Member (£14 a year), either: \- Pay cash at an event \- Pay via Bank Transfer \(TSB Bank plc\, Sort code: 77\-66\-65\, Account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers\) \- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.

City Photowalk

City Photowalk

Sat, Sep 5, 1:00 PM
From Photowalk Club

For our first meet up i think the main city would be a convenient spot. I’m thinking we go around Monument, London Bridge etc. Usually on Saturdays there’s loads of people here so great for street photography with people and ofcourse good architectural spots too! Hope this is notice enough and most of you can make it! Meeting point: Bishopsgate Exit Route: potentially Liverpool Street -> Gherkin -> Leadenhall Market -> St Dunsten in the East -> The Monument -> Cross London Bridge -> Borough Market to end with drinks 🍻 **Photowalk Code of Conduct** Our club is a welcoming, inclusive and judgment-free space for photographers of every background and experience level. 1. Everyone is equal. Treat every member with the same respect, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, appearance, experience or equipment. 1. Be kind. Bullying, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, exclusion or deliberately making someone uncomfortable will not be tolerated. 1. No shaming. Never shame anyone for their photographs, ability, camera, phone, editing style, knowledge or level of experience. 1. Do not make negative comments about ability. Everyone is here to enjoy photography and develop at their own pace. Constructive feedback should only be given when someone asks for it, and it must be respectful and helpful. 1. Respect different styles. Photography is subjective. You do not have to like someone’s work, but you must respect their creative choices. 1. Help, don’t compete. Celebrate other people’s progress, share knowledge generously and make newer members feel welcome. This club is a community, not a competition. 1. Respect personal boundaries. Ask before photographing another member or sharing an identifiable photograph of them. If someone asks not to be photographed, respect that immediately. 1. Include everyone. Do not form cliques, deliberately leave people behind during walks or make anyone feel that they do not belong. 1. Take responsibility for your impact. Jokes and comments should not come at somebody else’s expense. If someone tells you that your behaviour made them uncomfortable, listen and respond respectfully. 1. Speak to an organiser if something happens. Concerns will be taken seriously and handled as fairly and discreetly as possible. Serious or repeated breaches may result in removal from the club. The basic rule: be kind, be inclusive and never make another person feel small.
