CLASSIC LONDON MEWS & HIDDEN PASSAGEWAYS
Saturday 21st May 2:30pm
Earl's Court Tube, Earl's Court Road exit
This is a thread-the-needle walk. By that I mean it's possible to walk from Earl's Court to Kensington with hardly ever having to "deal with" - endure, "put up with" - main roads and busy streets and the general philistinism of the automobile culture. You can side street-it. Alleyway-it. Best of all, mews-it. Pretty maids all in a row. Well, not in a row - rather, strung along a thread-the-needle route. But yes - BIG YES - pretty-as-a-picture mews cottages. Lots of them pastel-splashed. Lots of them decked with flower boxes. Urban coves, havens of 19th-century tranquility. And, always always always, the pleasure of the route - of the way it "connects up". Here endeth the shorter version. For the longer version - lots more info about this walk - click on the link. .

With her very English eye for the idiosyncratic and her sense of humor – to say nothing of her sense of history and her command of the material – she's a star turn. And hey, where else but London Walks are you going to be guided by an OBE!
