This is why I go on walks - to explore areas in London and uncover sights that I would not have come across on my own. Michael Duncan, guided us on a walk in his very own neighbourhood. He was both passionate, and knowledgeable as he showed us: not one but TWO art galleries, an amazing display of graffiti art, where Royal Doulton was manufactured, the Southbank Mosaics, and so much more. Highly recommended!

Description
The Lambeth Walk - art & entertainment south of the river
“Any time you’re Lambeth way
Any evening, any day,
You’ll find us all
Doin’ the Lambeth walk.”
Oi! As the good old cockney Bill Snibson would have sung! Things have changed since then. For years people have passed through this part of London without stopping. But it's making a comeback. New galleries are popping up, the gay community is fleeing increasingly gentrified Soho to hit the clubs and pubs of Vauxhall.
This Lambeth Walk is a chance to explore a part of central London that has always been set apart; cast adrift by the river, cheeky, proud, a place of alternative entertainments.
350 years ago it was home to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens later it was birthplace to the circus and the music hall. It was the home of Charlie Chaplin who walked the streets entranced by the vaudeville stars who lived here.
So join me down Lambeth way where......
“Ev’rything free and easy,
Do as darn well pleasey,
Why don’t you make your way there?
Go there, stay there”
Pre-booking is essential.
