About the event
Do you know what links Prince Albert and Peter Stringfellow. Which former jail bird had the bird’s eye view of a former prison from the Albert Embankment? There are super sewers and stunning sturgeon with a guest appearance from The Beatles. Discover what gin links this area of Vauxhall with James Bond and why sometimes you really can whitewash history and it’s a good thing...
A river walk with a dry dock and tales of earth, wind, fire and envelopes. It will put a new spring in your step as we touch grass and hunt the lion. We'll be debating pineapple or not in relation to Lambeth Bridge and you'll be amazed what feels like a quiet area is brimming with 200 years of railways, tragedy and intrigue for a Sunday guided walk.
Meet for an 11am start in St Mary’s Gardens outside the Garden Museum. Please allow 2 hours…
