About this Event

Follow the green hat, discover vile bodies and dance to the music of time on this literary romp round Mayfair; the playground of the Bright Young Things in the 1920s.

We'll hear readings from works by Michael Arlen, Anthony Powell, Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford which capture the spirit of this era. We'll discover locations featured in their writing as we explore the area where they lived, worked and played.

The walk will last about two hours. It and starts outside the Stratton Street exit from Green Park Station and finishes in Shepherd Market.

  Please check travel arrangements on the day at Transport for London's Journey Planner site.
