A relaxed, welcoming walk to explore the Wadsworth Road area in Perivale, meet others, and reflect on what makes a place feel clean and pleasant to live in (or otherwise!).Book on Eventbrite at https://shorturl.at/XL5iI
We will meet at the new eco church St Nicholas' Church - where we will find out about eco churches. We will also hear about the development of this whole once rural area from the early 1930s. We will then walk along Wadsworth Road (wondering also about how it got its name) recalling the industries that were here before and what was made here - Perivale Silks and Philco Radios to name two. We will see what is here now and perhaps meet some who work here now.. We will finish at the iconic 1930s complex that once was the Hoover Factory.
A walk with a purpose
This walk is part of the Your Voice Your Town project, funded by Ealing Council, supporting a shared goal where Perivale residents selected clean and pleasant as their top priority for change.
As we walk, we’ll gently reflect on questions such as:
what do we understand by 'clean and pleasant'?
what features of the area we are walking in would support this?
where might things be improved?
There's no pressure to speak - you’re welcome to simply listen, observe and enjoy the walk.
What makes these walks different
Since 2016, Talking and Exploring has been bringing people together through walks that focus on both place and people.
For this project, we also:
welcome local residents, newcomers, and visitors alike
reach out to those who may feel less confident, isolated or new to the area
connect with local businesses, community and faith groups where possible
create space for conversation, shared experience and new connections
After the walk
We’ll finish with an optional café stop — a chance to rest, chat and continue the conversation in a relaxed setting.
You’ll also be invited to share your thoughts afterwards. Your feedback helps build a better understanding of how people experience Ealing and contributes to wider community insight.
