Jane Austen\u2019s London<\/strong> Walks<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Georgian<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


Sat 2.30 pm Green Park underground station, London (north exit, on the corner)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on the following dates in 2023: 2 April. 11 June. 9 September. 12 November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a Special Christmas version on 23 December 2023

An exploration of Mayfair, the centre of the London section of Sense & Sensibility and where Jane came to visit her brother

\u201cIt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Jane Austen devotee in possession of the good fortune of a couple of free hours today must be in want of this walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People associate Jane Austen and her characters with a rural setting. But London is central to both Jane Austen\u2019s real life and her literary life. So, this tour will explore Jane\u2019s connections with London and give the background to Sense and Sensibility, a good part of which is based in this very area. We begin with the place Jane\u2019s coach would arrive from Hampshire, and then walk the streets haunted by Willougby; past shops visited by the Palmers, the Ferrars; visit the location of Jane Austen\u2019s brother\u2019s bank and see the publisher of Jane\u2019s Books. The area around Old Bond Street was the home of the Regency elite and many buildings and a surprising number of the shops remain as they were in Jane Austen\u2019s day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a London Walk Guided Walk lead by Kevin Flude<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas With Jane Austen Virtual London Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
12th Night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Saturday 23 December 2023 7.30pm

We look at how Jane Austen spent Christmas and at Georgian Christmas traditions and amusements.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Jane Austen devotee in possession of the good fortune of a couple of free hours must be in want of this virtual walk.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a special walk, which looks at the traditions of Christmas during the Regency period and how Jane Austen might have celebrated it. It will give some background to Jane Austen’s life and her knowledge of London. We used her novels and her letters to find out what she might have done at Christmas, but also at how Christmas was kept in this period, and the range of ‘Curiosities, Amusements, Exhibitions, Public Establishments, and Remarkable Objects in and near London available to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a London Walks Guided Walk by Kevin Flude, Museum Curator and Lecturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review: ‘Thanks, again, Kevin. These talks are magnificent!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
