  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

This draft plan has also been made possible by the dedication of the Neighbourhood Forum Steering Group who have devoted many hours of volunteer time in making it happen.

In 2010 I was elected as local councillor for the Crofton Park ward. I’ve seen it change in many ways through the years but the essence of the place remains. It is a vibrant, family-friendly local community with residents and businesses that care about their streets, facilities and green spaces. People are drawn to the area because of the variety of homes, the attractive Victorian and Edwardian streets, the parades of independent shops and eating places, the good transport connections, the local creative and cultural activities and the beautiful parks. We know the area will continue to change and many of the challenges that other areas of London face have not escaped us – congested roads, increasing housing costs and stretched local services.

By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.

  • London Life Hacks: Culture
    LONDON LIFE HACKS: CULTURE Hi there, my name is Amy Norris and I work as a Study Abroad Peer Advisor and Student Ambassador at King’s College London. I have created this handy guide on culture in London. Check it out for cool recommendations for art, museums, nightlife, music and theatre in London! ART The most well-known galleries in London are possibly the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. These are located on Trafalgar Square, so just a 10-minute walk from Strand campus if you’ve got an hour to kill in between lectures! If you’re into contemporary art, check out the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. If you’re more traditional, try the Wallace Collection; situated in a beautiful manor house in Westminster, this is one of the best collections of European art. The arms & armour exhibitions are amazing! I’d recommend trying out both the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern. These are two of my favourite places in the city. It’s a lovely walk down the Thames between the two galleries, or you can hop on the Tate boat! The Late at Tate events are well-worth checking out – you can explore the galleries after-hours, and there’s always music and extra exhibits going on. The Royal Academy of Arts is a fantastic independent gallery – their Summer Exhibition is always one to look out for. Whitechapel Gallery, however, is one of the best public galleries. Recent exhibitions have covered everything from the Guerrilla Girls to Paolozzi. We also have the Courtauld Gallery right next door to Strand Campus in Somerset House – the permanent exhibition includes a Manet, and a van Gogh, and you get free admission with your King’s ID! MUSEUMS It’s no lie that London has some of the best museums in the world, and most of them are free to visit.
