Hazel Wednesday Aug 4 Wednesday Wander: Kings Cross to Canary Wharf - Wed 4th AugustAfter last Wednesday's rather soggy walk (!), let's hope for better weather as we follow the Regent's Canal through North London and down to the Thames at Limehouse - with an epilogue to Canary Wharf ... Date: Wednesday 4th August Distance: 6.5 miles (5.5 miles to Limehouse for DLR) Pace: Laid back Terrain: Flat, on tarmac & pavement Route: From Kings Cross station, its a short walk to join the Regent's Canal and past Battlesbridge Basin before the 960 yard Islington Tunnel diverts us up and over through the maze of Islington streets to return us to the canal. And then going eastwards through Hoxton and Haggerston, some parts up and coming, other parts sadly neglected before skirting past Victoria Park and slowly turning south through Globe Town and Mile End Park with the occasional lock to mark the steady progress down to the River Thames at Limehouse Basin. The final leg follows the Thames around the bend of Limehouse Reach with stunning views towards the towers at Canary Wharf ... Booking: Just turn up ! Meeting Point: Kings Cross station at 2 pm (outside main entrance on Euston Road, below the clock tower on Kings Cross Square) Note that the tube strike is set to end at 12 noon !! So, use those lovely journey planner tools from TfL Getting Back: Aiming to get to Canary Wharf by 6 pm latest for Jubilee line / DLR Cheers, Nick Cycling Hadrian's Way Cycle RouteCycle excursion following Hadrian's Way cycle route (174 miles) from Ravenglass to South Shields from 1st - 8th August, staying at AirB&Bs or similar for 7 nights en route.

Zoom invite will be sent via email. Monday Aug 9, 7:30 pm - 8:30 pmArt Deco evening walk - hotels, department stores and bachelor flatsMy first Art Deco evening walk will be on Wednesday 11 August. You are welcome to come along for one or both walks (the second is on Thu 19 Aug). It will explore the theme of hotels, department stores and bachelor flats. These walks are taken from a walk by Andrew Reid in 2003 and I will talk about the buildings we look at and people, both real and fictional, associated with them. He said: 'London in the Art Deco period was a city undergoing strong currents of change and trauma. It was an era of both hope and great anxiety. It was marked by political strife and some social progress. It was a time of obscene inequality and class war as well the occasion of the first ever Labour cabinet. Imperialism and racism were the mainstay of politics. Whilst most of the Deco architecture, such as the hotels and offices, was built for the rich, over a million Britons continued to live in appalling Victorian slums. Some of the new building was more egalitarian however, and included public works, notably in transport with the founding of London Transport.' 'The Deco era spans two decades; the twenties and the thirties, a sandwich between one horrific, devastating war and another. It was an era which saw the end of British rule in Southern Ireland, the General Strike, the Wall Street Crash, the Jarrow Marches, the rise of Oswald Mosley and his gang of British Fascists, the abdication of Edward the Eighth and his subsequent marriage to Wallis Simpson. It was an age that went from the jubilant degradation of Germany to the appeasement of Hitler by a British government. It was also a time of cultural flowering. It was the time when Hollywood was the centre of a glamorous imaginary world of beauty and riches; Greta Garbo, Laurel and Hardy, and Marlene Dietrich graced the new silver screen. In literature London was home to the Bloomsbury set, PG Wodehouse and Evelyn Waugh. In fashion, the 'flapper' became a symbol of hip, with pearls, tight helmet like hats and daringly high skirts. In music, Jazz flourished, as did the songs of Noel Coward.' The first walk - which takes a very roundabout route from Oxford Circus to Piccadilly Circus - will look at Palladium House, the Crazy Gang, the Pantheon Building (Marks & Spencer), Broadcasting House (the BBC), the former DH Evans/House of Fraser, the former HMV, Selfridges, Claridge's Hotel, Dorchester Hotel, Sheraton Hotel, Lord Peter Wimsey's home, Bertie Wooster's flat, Ritz Hotel, the former Wolseley car showroom, Waterstone's and Piccadilly Circus tube station.
