Between about 1933 and 1939, artists living around Parkhill Road pioneered the British Modernist art movement, whilst spies living around Lawn Road were at the centre of Soviet espionage in Britain. The political turmoil in Europe, and arrival of exiles escaping Fascism, had a significant impact on both these developments. You can find out more about local culture and chicanery in those extraordinary times on our walk on Sunday 25 September. Led by Averil Nottage, it will takes place twice – starting at 11.00 a.m. and 2.30 p.m.
The afternoon walk will be followed by tea and cakes at Belsize Library. The walks will start at the junction of Parkhill Road and Haverstock Hill. We expect a big demand so, to keep everyone safe, we are limiting numbers by operating a ticket system. For 11am, the booking is through an Eventbrite site at the link. For the 2.30pm, walk, there is a separate link.
