On Sunday 30th April I'll be hosting my annual walkabout in London. As always this is a completely FREE event and a chance for you to come and meet myself and some other like-minded photographers. With limited spaces available I would encourage you to register your place as soon as you can using the form at the bottom of this post (those of you viewing this in your email may need to open it in their browser), or head on over to the events page to register.
As is very much the tradition with all the walks I host and as past attendees will attest; we will start out at one of London's best coffee shops - The Department of Coffee and Social Affairs on Carnaby Street. We'll then hit the streets, with plenty of stops for discussion (and more coffee!). We'll cover a couple of miles before then ending with a meal to discuss the day (optional)
What, Where, When?
Date: Sunday, April 30th
Meeting Time: 13:00 (UK Time)
Finish Time: Circa 17:30 (UK Time)
Meeting Location: The best coffee shop in London! If you've been on one of my walks previously you may well be familiar with The Department of Coffee and Social Affairs, on Carnaby Street (W1F 7HD). I'll be there from around 12:00, so if anyone wants to meet for a delicious pre-walk coffee, stop by and we'll get acquainted. This rather small, but superb coffee shop is located at the North end of Carnaby Street down one of the small alleys. Look out for the Black signs.
Transport: To get to Carnaby Street you'll need to take a short walk from either Oxford Circus (Central Line) or Picadilly Circus (Bakerloo Line)
