Hidden London: An Insider’s Guide with Hattie Bennett
Description Let's take a trip through the best parts of London, beloved by locals and hidden from travelers. During this On Demand webinar, you’ll join a London native on a journey to explore the secret side of this inimitable city to discover its museums, restaurants, and unique places found off the beaten path. When you think of London, popular sites come to mind: The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. But there is so much more to this exciting city than its top attractions. During this presentation, we will take you to the lesser-known corners and share how locals enjoy their nation’s capital. We will start by going south of the river Thames to the residential area of Wandsworth to look at fine early eighteenth-century houses in Clapham. We will tour The Common, once a medieval cow pasture, now a park for recreation, and learn about the role of open space in historical London. Next stop, Richmond. Traveling downriver, we will stop at Petersham Nurseries
