London - What's in a name?

UPDATED 20150615 12:20:02

London has 32 boroughs, tens of thousands of roads, different areas, open spaces and so on. And they all have names. In a series of walks we will explore some of these, what they mean and consider if they are relevant today. First class meets in St Paul's Cathedral Crypt Cafe A series of twelve walks exploring the theme of 'names' in relation to London's street landscape and history. Each walk lasts 2 hours, departing from an agreed meeting point and following a planned route that features the salient points of the session's theme. The tutor will impart information orally and will support learning with written resources available either on the day or via the College's Intranet. While the walks are not usually physically challenging, each route may include urban and/or rural roads and will take place in all weathers (except in extreme conditions, when it may be necessary to make alternative arrangements).Learn about the historical figures which helped shape London in the past and the present. Learn about the historical landmarks and events associated with the area visitedVisit and discuss buildings/ architecture, learn about key people and events. Trace the relationship between the area today and the past Be able to pass this knowledge and understanding onto others. no N/A
