PAST PRESERVED
Nooks, Crannies & Flickering Shadows in Charlie Chaplin's London
| June 14 | 10.45 am | Kennington Tube |
In his heyday Charlie Chaplin was arguably the most recognizable - if not the most famous - person in the world. Just south of the Thames over Lambeth Bridge is the area where Charlie - "the comic genius who gave pleasure to so many" - was born in 1889. Remarkably - indeed, thrillingly - the streets and buildings that Charlie knew as a boy are still there. In short, to go on this walk is to explore the background and context to the flickering memories of his immortal celluloid talent. And for that matter, this one's a "double feature" because there are other delights - and surprises - along the way. Especially for dedicated computer nerds and art lovers.
To go on the Past Preserved walk meet Isobel just outside the exit of Kennington Tube Stop.
The "Latecomers Catch-up Stop" is outside the Drill Hall in Braganza Street.
The walk ends not far from Kennington Tube Stop (which is on the Northern Line). Or, if you prefer, it's also a very short jaunt to Elephant & Castle Tube Stop (which is on both the Northern Line and the Bakerloo Line).
