I’ll be leading the Walworth Old and New walk Saturday 3rd December, meeting outside Kennington tube station at 10.45am.
From the Saxons to the present day, Walworth has had many incarnations.

Famous as the birthplace of Charlie Chaplin, Walworth has belonged to a court jester, temporarily housed St Thomas’ Hospital, seen the first giraffes in a public collection in the United Kingdom, been the force behind achieving age related pensions, and has been mentioned in literature from Charles Dickens to Muriel Spark.
The walk lasts around two hours, ending at Pullens Yards where the celebrated artists’ studios are open to the public this weekend.
There is no need to book, just turn up and pay on the day, £10, £8 for over
65s and full-time students.
As @ThisisWalworth tweeted “just when u think u know all there is to know about #walworth #se17, along comes @GuidedbyIsobel”.
