If you are walking with the Group for the first time, just turn up at the Meeting Point and introduce yourself to the Walk Leader. Non-members of the Ramblers are very welcome to come on up to three walks before joining. For the latest information about a walk, please check the London Strollers’ section of the Walks Finder (Group Walks and Events Manager) at http://www.ramblers.org.uk/london- strollers, or telephone the leader. NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATE MEMBERS: INNER LONDON AREA AGM The Inner London Area AGM will run from 14.00 - 16.00 on Saturday 8 February 2020 at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, 235 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2H 8EP (near the Holborn end of Shaftesbury Avenue). The AGM will consider the formal business of the Area – electing committee members for 2020-21, electing delegates for General Council 2019 in Bristol in April and the annual report and accounts. The guest speaker will be Paul Wood, who specialises in identifying and writing about street trees in London. Paul is a very entertaining speaker. Copies of his two books will be available at the meeting. The AGM is open to all Ramblers members in Inner London Area (that includes all London Strollers members).

Copies of the Agenda will be available at the meeting to all those attending. OTHER NOTICES 1. Dogs: Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on our walks unless stated otherwise. 2. Please note that whilst walk leaders attempt to give an accurate finish time, the actual pace and length of the walk depends on several factors, including walker speeds on the day, café and toilet queues etc. The finish time should therefore be treated as an estimate only, and cannot be guaranteed. Walkers will wish to bear this in mind when booking other events close to the finish time. NOTE FOR ASSOCIATE MEMBERS: Please note that, as agreed at last year’s AGM, London Strollers is now making a charge of £5 per year, or part year, to those Associate Members who wish to receive their copy of the Walks Programme by post. Payment for 2020 is due by 15 February 2020. Please contact [email protected] (07930 367984) if you have any queries about this.

  • Greenwich Waterfront Transit
    Greenwich Waterfront Transit Summary Report This report has been produced by TfL Integration Further copies may be obtained from: Tf L Integration, Windsor House, 42–50 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0TL Telephone 020 7941 4094 July 2001 GREENWICH WATERFRONT TRANSIT • SUMMARY REPORT Foreword In 1997, following a series of strategic studies into the potential for intermediate modes in different parts of outer London, London Transport (LT) commenced a detailed assessment under the title “Greenwich Waterfront Transit” of a potential scheme along the south bank of the Thames between Greenwich Town Centre and Thamesmead then on to Abbey Wood. In July 2000, LT’s planning functions were incorporated into Transport for London (TfL). A major factor in deciding to carry out a detailed feasibility study for Waterfront Transit has been the commitment shown by Greenwich and Bexley Councils to assist in the development of the project and their willingness to consider the principle of road space re-allocation in favour of public transport. This support, as well as that of other bodies such as SELTRANS, Greenwich Development Agency,Woolwich Development Agency and the Thames Gateway London Partnership, is acknowledged by TfL. The ongoing support of these bodies will be crucial if the proposals are to proceed. A major objective of this exercise has been to identify the traffic management measures required to achieve segregation and high priority over other traffic to encourage modal shift towards public transport, particularly from the private car. It is TfL’s view,supported by the studies undertaken, that the securing of this segregation and priority would be critical in determining the success of Waterfront Transit.

Nearest stations Mottingham to finish: Section distance: 3.7 miles (6.0 kilometres). Introduction. Walk in the footsteps of royalty as you pass Eltham Palace and the former hunting grounds of the Tudor monarchs who resided there. The manor of Eltham came into royal possession on the death of the Bishop of Durham in 1311. The parks were enclosed in the 14th Century and in 1364 John II of France yielded himself to voluntary exile here. In 1475 the Great Hall was built on the orders of Edward IV and the moat bridge probably dates from the same period. Between the reigns of Edward IV and Henry VII the Palace reached the peak of its popularity, thereafter Tudor monarchs favoured the palace at Greenwich. Directions. To reach the start of this section from Falconwood Rail Station, turn right on to Rochester Way and follow the road to Oxleas Wood. Enter the wood ahead and follow the path to the Green Chain signpost.

  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • 1 Conservation Casework Log Notes March 2018
    CONSERVATION CASEWORK LOG NOTES MARCH 2018 The GT conservation team received 136 new cases in England and TWO cases in Wales during February, in addition to ongoing work on previously logged cases. Written responses were submitted by the GT and/or CGTs for the following cases. In addition to the responses below, 47 ‘No Comment’ responses were lodged by the GT and 5 by CGTs in response to planning applications included in the weekly lists. Site County GT Ref Reg Proposal Written Response Grade ENGLAND Bristol Local Plan Avon E17/1570 n/a LOCAL PLAN Bristol Local Plan CGT WRITTEN RESPONSE 31.03.2018 Review We are grateful for the opportunity to comment on this Local Plan Review. As previously notified to you, The Gardens Trust, which is the statutory consultee on matters concerning registered parks and gardens, is now working closely with County Gardens Trusts, and the responsibility for commenting on Local Plan Reviews in this context has now passed to Avon Gardens Trust. The Trust notes that Policy BCS22 Conservation and the historic environment in the Core Strategy of June 2011, and Policy DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies of July 2014 are proposed to be retained. The Local Plan Review consultation document makes a number of strategic proposals, for example to meet housing need, to provide new transport infrastructure, and in respect of employment, land. Such proposals may, depending on location, detailed siting and design, have an impact on registered and unregistered historic parks and gardens. 1 The Trust does not seek to comment on such proposals at the present time, but would expect to be engaged in its role as statutory consultee as and when the details of such proposals are known.

  • Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon
    ULTIMATE SPECTATORS GUIDE TO THE LONDON MARATHON We recommend you purchase a Travelcard to travel around London on the day as this will allow access to Rail, Tube and Bus at no extra charge. Zones 1-2 should be adequate for the travelling around the route, however if you need to go further afield, please check which zones you’ll be travelling in. Buses no longer accept cash payments. You’ll need to use a Travelcard, Oyster card or pay with a contactless debit/credit card. Please note that whilst we do have cheering stations at Tower Bridge (mile 12) and along the Victoria Embankment (mile 24) these will be manned by volunteers and we do not recommend you go to those points on race day. This is because these areas are extremely busy and it can take a long time to move through the crowds. By skipping Tower Bridge, you have more chance of seeing your runner at multiple points on the route, and by going straight to mile 25 from 19 you’ll cheer them on from the end! START AREA Although it’s advised not to accompany your runner to the start due to the high volumes of people, if you decide to see them off, please be aware that spectators will not be allowed into the assembly areas of the start. Once you’ve said your farewells and good lucks, head down the Avenue out of Greenwich Park. Once out of the park, turn left onto Nevada Street and keep walking as it turns into Burney Street.
