SUMMER TERM - VILLAGE LONDON - FOURTH SERIES
Tuesday April 29 to June 24, 2025
Thursday May 1 to June 26, 2025
More than any other world city London is a collection of villages. This assortment of villages, some dating back to medieval times, expanded, particularly, during the 19th Century. As the fields between these settlements were built on, London emerged as one huge conurbation.
Today, those villages can still be identified, as having their own specific features, which may include a church, a high street, a market or a particular housing style.
This series of 8 walks includes three “villages” south of the river, three in the west and two in north London. From Harrow on the Hill to Herne Hill and from Holland Park to Camden Town you will learn how these villages developed and what they offer the inquisitive visitor today.
