I can commend the Become A Lambeth Guide as graduate of the course, now Accredited Guide and Course Tutor. Not just a fascinating past, but so much to discover about the Borough now, in class & on Training Walks. You don't need to live or work in #Lambeth Applications welcome!

The third of my "Unseen Vauxhall" guided walks sets sail from Nine Elms Underground Station (not Vauxhall!) on Tuesday at 1:30pm, to see the little details that are not usually noticed, and hear of things that have vanished. eventbrite.co.uk/e/928658802477

My "Thames Crossings" guided walk on Monday follows the Thames embankment on the Lambeth side from Vauxhall to Waterloo, to learn about the surviving crossings and many more that are no more. Of how many crossings do you think will we see or hear? eventbrite.co.uk/e/crossing-theโ€ฆ

West Dulwich may not seem the obvious place for a walking tour, but there are plenty of little known details to be seen and stories to be heard, such as the community of Italians - but not by their choice. This Friday, 15th November. eventbrite.co.uk/e/welcome-to-wโ€ฆ

Did the three musketeers come from Vauxhall? This annd other burning questions will be answered on my next guided walk: 'Unseen Vauxhall 3 - Even More Vanished and Unnoticed', Sunday 26th January at 1:30pm. eventbrite.co.uk/e/797116405627โ€ฆ

I'm leading my Crossing the Thames guided walk this Friday 7th March. We'll follow the Albert Embankment and the South Bank from Vauxhall to Waterloo to see the publicly accessible river crossings surviving and vanished. eventbrite.co.uk/e/795599147467โ€ฆ
