Turner’s Modern World - Virtual walk through exhibition
Wednesday 17 March
This landmark exhibition will bring together major works by Turner from Tate and other collections, including The Fighting Temeraire 1839 and Rail, Steam and Speed 1844. It will explore what it meant to be a modern artist in his lifetime and present an exciting new perspective on his work and life.
Walk through Dicken's London - April Date tab
Join us for an hour’s virtual wander through the City streets on the 150th anniversary of the great author's death and discover the sites which formed the background to his life. We will start at Wood Street, amble to London Bridge and then head for Smithfield Market via the Medieval Streets of the City, Bank and St Paul’s, and then end at Smithfield Market. Along the way, we will see where he first arrived in London, where he first fell in love and pop into the beautiful Wren church which inspired so many of his characters. We will also visit various sites mentioned in his books including Newgate Prison where Fagin spent his last desperate hours and also the irrepressible Mr Pickwick's favourite pub. All this from the comfort of your home – with, we recommend, a glass of something in your hand!
The tour will be led by Gina Mullett who is keen to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for her home town. She is a qualified and experienced guide being both a London Blue Badge Guide and City of London Guide. Gina was also Take Walks Guide of the Year 2019.
You are asked to make a payment of £5 as your "fare" for your viewing device which will go towards the cost of employing our guide.
