In light of the current interest in and appetite for content-rich, unusual and unique walking experiences and indeed simply for walking as a pleasure in its own right, we are delighted to announce that from 28 Feb – 2 March 2014 we will be running the TCCE London Winter Walking Weekend.

A range of highly diverse walks, some of which are also participative in nature will take place over the weekend in neighbourhoods including King’s Cross, Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Mile End, Farringdon and the City. The walks are led by academics and artists associated with TCCE partner academic institutions.

Themes span many topics and disciplines and include: Public Lettering and Typography, Developing a Phenological Clock: Understanding and documenting natural systems, Cinema and Migration, The Lost Theatres of Shakespeare’s London, Locating King’s Cross, Jewish immigrant life in London’s East End, Walking and Reading.
