A day out in BATTERSEA
Details
A very popular guided walk and tour with Barrie
BATTERSEA .....the new and the old
This is more than the usual guided walk, this is an afternoon out as Barrie
takes you on a journey from Vauxhall to Battersea Park and takes you through a modern history of an area that is about to become Londons newest and most vibrant destinations.
Part one journeys along the riverside taking in the new American Embassy
and other interesting sites and arrives at the regenerated Battersea power station where Barrie will tell you all about its history and the massive new development.
Part two allows the group to wander, maybe have a snack or a coffee and take in the new Power station complex and immerse oneself in the
brilliance of what has been accomplished in the amazing redevelopment of the area.....60 mins allowed.....maybe not enough !!
Part three takes us into one of Londons most beautiful yet un appreciated parks where you will be told about the history of its golden years as one of Londons greatest attractions long since forgotten until now as Barrie brings it all back to life with photos and stories of his youth and his memories of great days out back in the 1950's
This is the tour of tours, one you will be talking about for weeks!
warning.....this is a long walk and the whole experience
will take over three hours
And the price is £14 cash on the day
