Society member Jonathan Causer will lead this walk on Wednesday 15th March. The Strand has a along rich vein of London’s history.
Strand (in official documents it never has a “The”, is only 3/4 mile long, from Trafalgar Square to Temple Bar. For a thousand years it has been a major highway and is packed with history, including the Gunpowder plot, a buried church, two murders, a crazed elephant, a crazed sculptor, a megalomaniac Duke and much more.
The walk starts at Charing Cross mainline station under the clock inside at 10.15am. We will then head eastwards, with a coffee stop about half way, ending near the High Court in time for lunch. No stiles, but two sets of stairs.
There is no charge for this event, but a donation of £5 for the Society on joining the walk will be appreciated.
Please reserve your place through Eventbrite.
The places are few as the Strand is a noisy and busy venue, if you book and then find you cannot attend, PLEASE let the office know.
