A great start to the week… this theatre group from Oregon back again for a 4th year, every year a theatre tour, every year a different route. Such a rich history to draw upon, such a range of buildings to read. Thanks for joining me again!
I’ve said this before but it stands up to repetition…
🎭
Theatre is famously “the bastard art” drawing as it does from all the the other creative and expressive arts. So our topic is immediately wide-ranging - from lit crit to the evolution of acoustics in theatre architecture.
🎭
Throw in architecture itself & the scene is quite literally set for a “History Of Everything” extravaganza!
🎭
Add economics (the hows-and-whys of funding), gender- and sexual-politics, technology (from gaslighting to laser projection), social history & class (the price of tickets and who buys ‘em), politics (censorship, ideas and protest). Season well with gossipy tales and legends and superstitions and it can make for a thematically rich couple of hours.
🎭
It can be all of that… or we can just have a mooch around and see some extraordinarily pretty buildings. So many of them in such a small area. It’s up to you. DM to book a theatre walk

As some of you may know, I gave on consulting the weather forecast years ago. But if the prediction for today was “Not too shabby” then they hit the nail on the head. Have a great Thursday whatever you get up to - give me a wave 👋 if you see me out-and-about

Very rewarding walk on Tuesday with some 10-year-olds looking at refugees in London. Began with the Jewish children of WWII at the Kindertransport statue at Liverpool Street Station. Then in the East End we saw how English children became refugees in their own land through evacuation. I lead this tour every year for the same school but this year there were some particularly heartwarming & inspirational responses from very sparky kids - they really engaged with the harrowing plight of child refugees on arduous journeys separated from their families. A morning I’ll remember for a very long time ❤️

Hey Puss. I’m off out to lead my monthly East End Sunday double bill of walking tours in Bethnal Green, Whitechapel & Spitalfields. You are going to come with me, aren’tcha? Aren’tcha? Puss? Hello? Puss…

Would you look at these miserable sinners! This lovely lot joined me in search of pride, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, avarice and sloth on The Seven Deadly Sins this morning ❤️

This bonnie boy is a late entrant for my Favourite Guest Of 2024. Meet Rupert. Rupert is from Nunhead, Southeast London (where they have a magnificent cemetery). Rupert joined me for the Ghosts of the Old City tonight. He was particularly helpful when we pursued The Black Dog of Newgate Prison. Thanks Rupert.

Spotted in Deal, Kent - a plaque for John Lewis Roget pic 1), who revised & expanded his father Peter Mark Roget’s famous thesaurus. It makes a nice pair with the plaque pic I snapped in Edinburgh (pic 2) back in October. Two plaques 450 miles apart. Clearly those Roget boys were gadabouts. Travellers. Ramblers. Wanderers. Itinerants. Roamers. Rovers. Drifters. Wayfarers…

Six years ago today with my satchel and shining morning face creeping very willingly to school… snapped by my daughter in emulation of her first-day-of-term pics, I’m off on the first night of the City of Westminster Guide Lecturers' Association course back in 2018. The 2024/5 students begin their course tomorrow. Good luck to everyone starting the new term 🍀 it’s an amazing journey. Work precludes me from joining you on your first day tomorrow but I am looking forward to working with you later in the year on the street for your first practical sessions
