Animal Pasts in London’s Landscape Today

In September, (Saturday 29th at 2pm) )I will be leading a guided walk around Smithfield, the City borders and Holborn with an emphasis on non-human animals, images of them and people who have taken an interest in animal welfare and rights.

Alongside our human ancestors animals have created the physical and cultural landscape of London as it exists today. In this walk of c. 2 hours we will look at traces left by cattle, horses, dogs and cats – and their human companions. Skirting the city, this walk will  offer a different way of seeing London.

Start: Barbican tube station 2pm. (Finish: Russell Square tube)

Cost: £8

It is organised by the London Metropolitan Archives. You will need to book through the LMA. or ring them 020 7332 3851

      Hi Diana
      I am intending to do again – and am also working on one with a focus on Battersea including the brown dog and on Hyde Park and its environs including the animals and war memorial.

    I would love to go on one of the walks you say above relating to animals. I would be grateful if you could let me know about it, or any future events.
    Thank you.
