About: In a city that has been determined through various icons of contemporary life finding the true and eccentric can be challenging.
The changing landscape of London and the touristic symbols that dominate one of the most visited metropolis in the world has
concealed the essential roads and monuments that have made London what it is. The Eccentric London Walks initiative aims to highlight
all the places that exist under our noses that have determined and shaped the way we understand London today as a buzzing
urban empire.
Throughout the years London has been a minor Roman Town, a thriving medieval trade port, a colonial empire capital and a
leading financial centre with a proper skyline. All these roles are visible in the puzzling landscape of London if you know where to look
for them. From the long forgotten London port to the cradle of financial banking system in the City and from the first underwater
tunnel to the apartments of Marx and Lenin, who lived in the city that would become the symbol of international capitalism.
In a city that saw kings emperors slaves and bankers Eccentric London walks explores the exciting stories that emerge from just
a stroll around the streets of London and make us understand that a city is not just a city.
​
Aim: To bring together a strong eccentric community to share the common love for the secret London through walking, the best way
to explore. Events will take place at various hidden venues and places, like picnics, meetings for coffee in quirky coffee places, group
tickets for museums, galleries and anything you else you might think of!
