Beardsley Walk

AUBREY BEARDSLEY

Pierrot of Pimlico and Piccadilly

"London is adorably bright and busy."

Presented by Alexia Lazou

Sunday 7th September 2008, 3pm

Meet outside Pimlico Tube Station, Rampayne Street Exit. There you will
recognise the Beardsley Woman carrying a Yellow Book under her arm.
Accompany her to various places associated with Aubrey in Pimlico. Then,
after "A Short Ride in an Omnibus", reconvene at Green Park Underground
Station to plunge into the publishing domain of Lane and Smithers. The walk
will last approximately three hours and will conclude for refreshment at a
nearby public house.

How London is Divided Up

Image
The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow

Updated Lincoln's Inn Fields Wikipedia page
