London’s Parks

Please note: Booking is Essential

Pete Smith dissects the lungs of London: the city’s parks. Find out how the Tudors’ love of hunting has left us a green legacy and learn what we owe to William III’s delicate chest, Charles II’s liking for a dip and George IV’s pet vanity project. Along the way you will hear about a duke’s library, two dead dogs and the time Oliver Cromwell nearly shot himself.

In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre.

Online via YouTube: Event link to be sent to attendees 24 hours prior to the talk.
