Discovering London at The Step -The New River's 400th Anniversary
Discovering London with Peter Berthoud
Thursday, 23 May 2013 from 19:30 to 21:00 (BST)
London, United Kingdom
Event Details
Last year The Step launched a series of London talks with Peter Berthoud, a London Guide and Writer where he will look at unusual aspect of London’s history in this relaxed North London cafe, bar and gallery.
The next talk will be on London's New River which celebrates its 400th birthday this September.
This incredible four hundred year old artificial waterway was designed to bring fresh water from Hertfordshire into London and is still doing so today.
Originally nearly forty miles long the New River’s path meandered from Chadwell (via Bowes Park!) to The New River Head near Sadler’s Wells.

The illustrated talk will last an hour including an opportunity to ask questions and to look at some rare books. You can also enjoy a drink or a snack during or after the talk if you like.
The Step is located in the Bowes Park conservation area. They serve delicious locally sourced food and tasty drinks and sell handmade gifts by the best designer-makers.
The price for the talk is £7.00 or £5.00 for concessions.

Organiser
Discovering London with Peter Berthoud
I am an award winning, fully qualified and fully insured City of Westminster Guide and a member of the City of Westminster Guide Lecturers Association.
My tours are informative, fun, flexible and inclusive. I offer some public walks (such as this one) but the majority of my time is spent writing and delivering personalised tours, for families, companies and educational organisations.
My walks are all available for booking by private groups or individuals. I can tailor any tour to your requirements, make them shorter, longer, include pub stops or finish near a restaurant in the area for example.
I offer many other tours throughout the City, from the Royal Parks to Paddington and Little Venice, Pimlico, Regency London, Political Westminster, Westminster Highlights, Art Tours and Historic Pub Tours. These can all be adapted to suit first time visitors or keen London enthusiasts.
The shortest bookings I generally accept are for one hour, the longest for one week.
I can help you to plan tours in minute detail weeks beforehand or I love nothing more than working with a brand new group, on the day itself, to develop a truly unique and spontaneous tour!
For a free initial discussion about how I might be able to help you plan a perfect tour in London please email me at walks@peterberthoud.co.uk .
