'Historic South Kensington - A Victorian London' Guided Walk
This location is shown only to members
Come along on Saturday 18th February at 1:45pm for a guided walk around South Kensington!
About the walk
Discover an area which was developed after the Great Exhibition of 1851. Find out where Eliza Doolittle sold flowers when she wasn’t in Covent Garden, discover some of London’s most elegant Victorian streets.
South Kensington has it all from grand museums to hidden mews and we see the area’s contrasting faces from the large scale to the intimate in this unusual walk.
The walk is a private walk for the group, we will split into 4 groups and we will be guided by Diane Burstein, Colin Street, Mary Sewell & Lucy McMurdo. It will last about 2 hours.
The cost for the guides is £7 per person for Full Member's of the group and £8 per person for non-Members. (payable on the day).
Afterwards we will head to a local pub for a chat over a drink.
If you can't see us at the station, please call.
Look out for the group sign -
Hope to see you there!
Regards
Robert

Yes, if you RSVP now you will go onto the waiting list. I'm trying to get a 4th guide at the moment, so if we manage to get one, all those on the waiting list could then come along.
