a day out in BATTERSEA
A very popular guided walk and tour with Barrie
**BATTERSEA .**....the new and the old
This is more than the usual guided walk, this is an afternoon out as Barrie
takes you on a journey from Vauxhall to Battersea Park and takes you through a modern history of an area that is about to become Londons newest and most vibrant destinations.
Part one journeys along the riverside taking in the new American Embassy
and other interesting sites and arrives at the regenerated Battersea power station where Barrie will tell you all about its history and the massive new development.
Part two allows the group to wander, maybe have a snack or a coffee and take in the new Power station complex and immerse oneself in the
brilliance of what has been accomplished in the amazing redevelopment of the area.....30 mins allowed.....maybe not enough !!
Part three takes us into one of Londons most beautiful yet un appreciated parks where you will be told about the history of its golden years as one of Londons greatest attractions long since forgotten until now as Barrie brings it all back to life with photos and stories of his youth and his memories of great days out back in the 1950's
This is the tour of tours, one you will be talking about for weeks!
*warning.....this is a long walk and the whole experience*
*will take over three hours*
And the price is £14 cash on the day.
(sorry inflation is hitting hard)

Viking warriors were thought to be one of the first tribes to throw axes and now its your turn! Nothing is more satisfying than hearing the thud as your axe lands perfectly into the target – there’s nothing else like it!
Our axe throwing range is totally undercover, so you can get throwing rain or shine. With multiple lanes and expert advice, this activity can't be more fun whether you are with a group of friends.
**3\. Air Rifle Shooting**
Get your camo gear on (not compulsory), and get ready for some rifle shooting training. Our guns are top of the range, and we can adjust the distance of our targets to give you the ideal challenge. See if you’ve got what it takes to perfect your aim and make your mark on distant targets.

Regents Park Rounders and Social/Board Games
**Come join us for some fun in the park**
This is a weekly social park gathering with optional sports and board / social games.
2pm Rounders
3:30pm Social/Board games in the park- please sign up separately [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/games-friends/)[.](https://meetu.ps/e/PfHPb/z45zT/i)
**How to play rounders**
Not played rounders before? It's a traditional English sport for everyone, even the unsporty. Here's a video of us playing: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k)
Rounders is a bat and ball game similar to baseball played by two teams. Your team will be either fielding or batting before swapping after the innings. When batting, the aim is to hit the ball, then try and run around the four posts. Your team gets a rounder if you make it round the four posts without stopping or getting out. You are out if when you hit the ball someone catches the ball before it reaches the ground or someone stumps a post before you get there.
The rules will be explained at the beginning of each meetup with a practice round at the beginning. We play a slightly modified version of the official rules where if you are out, it's not game over for you. Your team will lose a life instead. This will give everyone multiple opportunities to bat.
**It's very simple to pick up and the ball we use is very soft. We are very beginner friendly and the focus is on having fun rather than being competitive**. We attract attendees of all ages and sporting level. You are welcome to come and watch only too. We usually have a few people who do so while having a picnic and enjoying the park.
**Come and meet us**

LCC Nature Walks: THE GREENWAY [East London]
Hello path-beaters and foot-padders! Once again it's that time again: Spring is in the air, or at least it will be (have been?) by the time we touch down in east London for another big step down **The Greenway on April 12th, 2026.**
It was with this hidden gem of an urban nature trail that we kicked off last year's smash-hit nature walking series. Longtime LCC-ers will remember that we didn't actually get very far down the Greenway, thanks to the torturous interference of some no-good developers who put a big fence and a "GREENWAY CLOSED" sign in our way. We diverted and had a lovely hike anyway, but this time we'll be ready.
The Greenway was once known as the Northern Outfall Sewer, a raised sewer line designed to whisk away the industrial filth of London during the height of the Industrial Revolution. At the start of the 20th century, it was sealed up and turned into a linear park for the enjoyment of working-class east London, over which it passes today - from Fish Island all the way over East Ham and on down to Silvertown and the end of the Woolwich Peninsula. We'll try to cover the whole distance, for a walk of about 3-3.5 hours.
The weather should be alright - who can say - but do bring a wind layer and possibly some protection from light rains. Good walking shoes and boots are handy, but this trail shouldn't have much or any mud, since it's paved in quite a few places. A snack or lunch is worth bringing too, but we'll aim for a pub at the end somewhere.
There are bathroom facilities at Hackney Wick, our starting point, as well as at a couple cafes at situated on the eastern end of the route.
Along the way we'll see gorgeous views of the River Lea with its branches, canal sections and forests as well as the Olympic parklands of Hackney and Stratford. To top that off, we'll have a near birds-eye view of the changing human landscape with all the big fuck-off construction sites of Bow Goods Yard, Sweetwater, Pudding Mill etc - a veritable tour of the gentrification process as it rolls on in east London! Natural beauty and political-economic field research - a winning combination, so do join us. Take care and see you on the trail!
Monopoly Pub Race | London 20s and 30s
**To kick off the weekend in style, we're excited to be bringing back one of our most unique Friday night socials... our latest Monopoly Pub Race.**
If you didn't join us back in January for the last one - this team game is an exciting hybrid of a photo hunt, a pub crawl and the famous family board game, Monopoly.
The game is played on a **virtual board consisting of 30 pubs** that are all within walking distance of each other in the heart of Central London.
These pubs have been split into sets of 3 pubs, that have each been allocated a colour (e.g. green, red, yellow etc.) with different purchase prices, much like on a real monopoly board.
The aim of the game is to race against the other teams to acquire pubs and be the first team to successfully accumulate two complete sets.
In order to claim a property, your team will need to visit a pub on the board and at least one member of your team must order a drink in the pub to purchase the property.
But this game isn't just about speed - it's about strategy as you will also be able to tactically “steal” properties from your rivals, as well as hinder them in their attempts to create sets.
And over the course of the game, you will be able to monitor the live board to help you track your progress, spot opportunities, and keep a watchful eye on your competitors.
If there is no clear winner when the time runs out, the team with the highest total property value will be crowned the champions, with great prizes up for grabs.
But of course, it is not just about the game - the evening will also provide you with a chance to connect with lots of like-minded 20s and 30s, whilst enjoying an unforgettable start to the weekend.

Summer Social: Let's kick off summer with Adult field day at Shadybowl!
We’re bringing back Adult Field Day.
Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows.
You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to.
The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up.
If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening.
Bring:
* Something to share for the potluck
* Clothes you can move around in
A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Include your Meetup name + event name in the note. Please send $2 per person to guarantee your spot.
