Edward Thomas London Walk

Clapham Junction Station London

Sunday 2nd June 2024 11.30am from Clapham Junction station Meet outside Sainsbury’s close to the station What Three Words https://w3w.co/alarm.choice.code Lucy Milner, Edward & Helen’s great-granddaughter, will be leading the walk, largely following the map and guidance kindly provided by Benedict Mackay https://edward-thomas-fellowship.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/1.-Wandsworth-Common.pdf  I would highly recommend downloading/reading this document in advance. This walk is approximately 4kms and will be undertaken at a leisurely pace, taking time for readings, chances to photograph, ask questions etc, en route. The terrain is easy, mostly on pavements and well established paths on Wandsworth Common.  Lunch will be at approximately 12.45/1pm and I would advise bringing a pack up/picnic (remember Sainsbury’s at the walk’s start) which can be eaten on the Common opposite the Hope pub in Bellevue Road. Alternatively lunch is available at the pub but staff assured me that booking ahead is advised. I had a tasty cheese toasty there in March!  https://www.thehopepub.co.uk/#/ After lunch…
