    Very much enjoyed the walk. Janet was knowledgeable, humorous and good and finding shady spots! I was dreaming of a pub at the end with a shady breezy garden - which materialised right on cue (well done Robert!)

    It was fun. Could have done with buying a drink of water though. Half way through, I had finished my first bottle. Guides may want to think about short breaks in hot weather. In spite of that, nice people. Thanks Robert.

    It was interesting to see part of London you ussually bypass by car. And to learn about history of the quarter and its nature beauty.

    Very informative.

  • Robert
    It was good fun guiding both walks. The film Chaplin made in 1992 and staring Robert Downey Jr is probably the best film made on his life.

    Thank you very much for an interesting walk

  • Derek
    one of the best guided walks ive been for.worth every penny of the £5 (that i didnt pay). Robert evoked perfectly the dreadful times the Charlie Chaplin endured and later recreated in his movies.However it was just as enlightening about Victorian Lambeth as it was about the tramp. The only reason I cant give this walk a 10 of 10 is that Robert refused to tap dance... and Charlie would have approved my gesture.

  • Elba
    Good guide for an interesting walk. Is there any picture of "Robert Chaplin"?

  • christine
    Excellent talk,I found it very moving.............loved the outfit Robert.

  • Tony
    Despite his short time in the UK this tour had much to offer in the way of locations and an evocation of London life at the time. In addition to the plethora of pubs there were many other period architectural styles we passed and Charlie was with us all the time in the form of Robert who had gone to the trouble of dressing as our eponymous subject.

    — Tony (Full Member 2012)

  • Peter T
    Very good - a lot of detail about his life in London.

  • Jules
    I really enjoyed the evening. Information was not too intense, just right. Could easily have sat for another hour listening. Finishing with a sociable beer at the pub. Thank you
