Exploring informal education. Walking in central London we can find many places associated with key figures and moments in the making of informal education. Explore them through a virtual (or real) walk that starts by the river next to Charing Cross Station and ends close to Oxford Street.
Exploring social action. A walk exploring the nature of social action – and the role of settlements, missions and community organizations. The walk starts close to Tower Bridge and ends in Rotherhithe and can also be explored virtually or for real.
Both these walks make use of Charles Booth’s poverty maps (1898-9) and can be compared with a contemporary street map. [Updated September/October 2024]
