Photo Walks

On this relaxed, social photo walk, we will explore the City's contrasting architecture in the afternoon sun. Beginners and experienced photographers are all welcome. * **The Barbican Centre:** We begin at this iconic brutalist playground, working with its maze of highwalks, geometric lines, textures, and pockets of light. * **St. Paul’s & One New Change:** Next, we'll capture various vantage points of the famous cathedral and shoot a mix of modern and old architecture. * **The Northbank Path:** Heading toward our final stop, we’ll take this quieter, less-frequented alternative to the Southbank for scenic cityscape views of the Shard and Tower Bridge. * **St. Dunstan in the East:** We’ll finish at this bombed ruined church garden—a secret gothic oasis in the middle of the city where nature has overtaken the architecture, offering incredible light filtering through the ruins and makes for stunning creative photographs. Whether you love to shoot architecture, candid street scenes, or just experiment with the light creatively, there will be plenty to work with. Please note that this is not a teaching workshop event. However, if you have any street photography questions or need advice during the walk please feel free ask me. As an extra bonus I've created a Street Photography Cheat-Sheet available for free download for members. Optional. We will end the photo walk at a pub or cafe for a quick drink for those who wish to regroup socially post walk. **What to Bring** * **Camera Kit:** Any camera or smartphone. No tripods required. * **Travel Light:** Comfortable shoes and clothing suited to the weather. \*\*\* **Event Info** * **Duration:** 2.25 hours * **Meeting Location:** Barbican, London * **Limited Spaces:** 10 \*\*\* **PAYMENT OPTIONS** * RSVP via Meetup (standard fee applies) * Or send £7.50 via PayPal to \*\*[street@lindawisdomphotography.com**](http://street@lindawisdomphotography.com%2A%2A/) — no extra fee * Message me to confirm your spot & I will add you to attendee list. \*\*\* **Bonus for Members** * **FREE DOWNLOAD –** Street Photography Cheat-Sheet * **FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GROUP:** A private FB group is available for group members to share their favourite event photos and receive feedback if requested.

**ISLINGTON EDGES.**............Brand new for 2025 On this tour we touch various parts of London from Islington to Camden, from Kings Cross to Bloomsbury from Clerkenwell to Angel. But central to it all is Islington so why not call it Islington edges ! London at its best with a complete mixture of subjects, from the death of a clown to a man made river, from a South African hero to Bob Dylan As usual there are blue plaques in abundance and a personal story that takes me back to my very early youth. Its a circular walk from Kings cross and back again taking over two hours but in that time we meet lots of the sort of characters and visit various places that helped make London the city we all love.

Join us for a chilled out, circular, stroll around Wanstead Park. The Park is a peaceful space with old trees, open grassland, woodland paths and a beautiful chain of lakes. It has history, with traces of the grand Wanstead House estate that once stood there. We'll take this time to slow down, engage and enjoy nature. We ask that you bring a specific topic you'd like to explore, or a question that's slightly unusual to the every day thinking we get caught in. Examples could be something like: * If you were to be born again, which career would you try out? * What's the best decision you made in the last year? * What is the smallest thing you could change in your life that would have the biggest positive impact right now? No need to bring the cleverest question. Come curious, open, prepared to share and ready to hear new perspectives and maybe even meet life long friends. We'll meet at the park entrance at 10.30am (see photo and map). We'll wait until 10.45am (only) iff we know someone is delayed. We'll share our questions all together and then head off as a (loose) group, in pairs or threes, returning to the same park gates around 12.30pm. Access to the park entrance on Wanstead Park Road is easy by public transport, Central Line or Elizabeth Line. By joining the walk you (of course) take full responsibility for your wellbeing. We look forward to meeting you!
