the National Theatre, encompassing the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen
Elizabeth Hall, the Hayward Gallery, the National Film Theatre and the
National Theatre, plus, of course, the glorious walk along the
riverside.</span>

<span>Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting
point at the beginning, a gathering place in
the middle and another one at the end, when we
‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a
group photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the
area and are there to help you feel at ease
and give you some ideas about what to sketch.
Please note there is no tuition during the
sketchwalks. We all draw what we wish,
following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the
end.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The Southbank Centre architecture is spectacular, especially if
you like concrete Brutalism, but there is much more. The Royal
Festival Hall provides an elegant contrast, as do the bridges:
Waterloo and Hungerford. The Christmas Market will be open, with
stalls set up along the riverside selling Christmas gifts and food
and drink, while under Waterloo Bridge you’ll find a large
second-hand book market.</span></span>

always, we keep an eye on developments concerning Covid, and even

everything we can to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers safe when
we're together. The risk of infection for outdoor events is low,

welcome to Urban Sketchers London! </span></b>
</div>
</h3>
<div>
Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the
beginning, a gathering place in the middle and another
one at the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks
and pose for a group photo. Sketchwalk leaders
know the area and are there to help you feel at ease
and give you some ideas about what to sketch. Please
note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks. We
all draw what we wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

<div style="color: #990000;">

</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />The Wellcome Collection has a wide range of options for drawing,
including exhibits on current scientific issues, displays from the history
of medicine world-wide, and artworks old and new related to the
<span>human</span> body.
<br /><br />Several free exhibitions are showing at the time of our
visits, and offer a multi-sensory experience to inform our sketches.</span></div><div>

features colour-changing lights and an upside-down Anthony Gormley
sculpture. The shiny spiral staircase reflects light. Upstairs, the

<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Urban Sketchers London follow current health and safety
guidelines, and we count on all our sketchers to do the same. As
always, we keep an eye on developments concerning Covid, and even
though restrictions have been lifted, we think it's sensible to do
everything we can to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers safe when
we're together. The risk of infection for outdoor events is low, but
basic guidance still applies:</span>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><ul>
<li>Please do not attend if you feel unwell</li>
<li>Wear a face covering when you're close to others</li>
<li>Give people space</li>
<li>Practise good hand hygiene. </li>
</ul></span>

do be polite when posting online. We may be biased, but we think
kindness comes naturally to urban sketchers -- so don't be shy, show
your social media politesse at its best.</span>

<div>
Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the
beginning, a gathering place in the middle and another
one at the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks
and pose for a group photo. Sketchwalk leaders
know the area and are there to help you feel at ease
and give you some ideas about what to sketch. Please
note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks. We

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Urban Sketchers London follow current health and safety
guidelines, and we count on all our sketchers to do the same. As
always, we keep an eye on developments concerning Covid, and even
though restrictions have been lifted, we think it's sensible to do
everything we can to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers safe when
we're together. The risk of infection for outdoor events is low, but
basic guidance still applies:</span>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><ul>
<li>Please do not attend if you feel unwell</li>
<li>Wear a face covering when you're close to others</li>
<li>Give people space</li>
<li>Practise good hand hygiene. </li>
</ul></span>

kindness comes naturally to urban sketchers -- so don't be shy, show
your social media politesse at its best.</span>

including some stools for sketching and a coffee wagon. <br /><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />There are varied opportunities for sketching. Chiswick Pier is the
location of several interesting houseboats. The view up and down the river
is broad and breathtaking. A five-minute walk takes you to Dukes Meadows, a
bio-diverse mix of riverside towpath, woodland and open meadow. At its heart
is the Dukes Meadows Bandstand which provides both an interesting subject
and shelter if needed. The whole area has terracing that provides convenient
seating.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The day is free of charge.

Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the
beginning, a gathering place in the middle and another
one at the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and
pose for a group photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the
area and are there to help you feel at ease and give you
some ideas about what to sketch. Please note there is no
tuition during the sketchwalks. We all draw what we
wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">11 AM</span></b><br /><br />We will meet at The Pier House, Corney Reach Way, Chiswick,
London W4 2UG.<br /><br />This is situated on the towpath next to Chiswick
Pier. The Pier House is about 15 minutes' walk from Barnes Bridge and
Chiswick Stations. A large room will be available to us, with light
refreshments and loos available. You will spot the RNLI lifeboat station
above the building; our entrance is on the ground floor. We will meet
outside if the weather is fine.<br /><br />Details of the location and how
to get there are at the end of this post.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">1 PM</span></b><br /><br />Meet again at The Pier House for a group photo and throwdown.
This year we will place our work on the steps by the pier, as seen in the group photo above. If wet, we can have our throwdown inside
Pier House.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">3.30 PM</span></b><br /><br />
Meet at the same place for the final throwdown.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">Afterwards</span></b><br /><br />For those who would like to stay on for a drink and chat (and
sketch!) the Barnes Riverside offers several pubs, including
<a href="https://www.whitehartbarnes.co.uk/" target="_blank">The White Hart</a>, just over the railway bridge by Barnes Bridge Station.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">Pre-visit activities</span></b><br /><br />One of the aims of the collaboration with Thames Festival Trust
is to engage people with the riverside, and sketching is a wonderful way to
do this. Together we aim to provide people with information about urban
sketching and how to start. When you register for a free ticket, you will be
sent resources to support you in joining the Urban Sketchers London group on
a ‘sketchwalk’.<br /><br /></span>

- </span>A five minute walk takes you to Dukes Meadows, a mix of riverside
towpath, woodland and open meadow. The
<a href="https://dukesmeadowstrust.org/" target="_blank">Dukes Meadows Trust</a>
led the regeneration of the meadows to create a beautiful riverside
park. Starting in 2000 the trust has raised over £1 million to create
fabulous play areas and has planted hedgerows, wildflower meadows and an
orchard to increase the bio-diversity of the park. Hailed as a model of
sustainability, the trust has established successful social enterprises
that generate revenue to maintain the improvements made. Volunteers run
the trust and help maintain the park. At its heart is The Dukes Meadow
Bandstand, which provides both an interesting subject and shelter if
needed. The whole area has terracing that provides convenient seating
overlooking the riverside.

</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />The location of this sketchwalk is Chiswick Pier Trust, The Pier
House, Corney Reach Way, Chiswick, London W4 2UG -- away from the bustle,
but not inaccessible. <br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;"><b>Getting there</b></span></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Chiswick and Barnes Bridge railway stations are each about a 15 minute walk
from The Pier House. The stations are on the Hounslow/Weybridge to Waterloo
line. For departure and arrival times please visit
<a href="https://www.southwesternrailway.com/" target="_blank">South Western Railway</a>.<br /><br />The E3 and 190 buses stop close by on the A316. For their

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Chiswick Pier and The Pier House are in Corney Reach Way, off the
roundabout at the end of Corney Road and Edensor Road, Chiswick. The Pier
House entrance faces onto the riverside piazza. The site of what used to be
Pissarro’s restaurant is immediately next door upstream, along the riverside
walkway. <br /><br />There is little parking at The Pier House, but
there is free parking on Pumping Station Road, and some parking bays at
Dukes Meadows on Riverside Drive. There are also parking bays opposite the
riverfront on The Promenade.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;"><b>Food and drink and conveniences</b></span><br /><br />The splendid <a href="http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=evchispier171.htm" target="_blank">Coffee-bike</a> has been invited to serve our needs.
It is situated near the Pier House until 4pm, servin</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">g organic coffee specialties as well as tea, mocha and hot
chocolate. </span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Urban Sketchers London follow current health and safety
guidelines, and we count on all our sketchers to do the same. As always,
we keep an eye on developments concerning Covid, and even though
restrictions have been lifted, we think it's sensible to do everything
we can to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers safe when we're together.
The risk of infection for outdoor events is low, but basic guidance
still applies:</span>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><ul>
<li>Please do not attend if you feel unwell</li>
<li>Wear a face covering when you're close to others</li>
<li>Give people space</li>
<li>Practise good hand hygiene. </li>
</ul></span>

be polite when posting online. We may be biased, but we think
kindness comes naturally to urban sketchers -- so don't be shy, show
your social media politesse at its best.</span>

Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the
beginning, a gathering place in the middle and another one
at the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose
for a group photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area
and are there to help you feel at ease and give you some
ideas about what to sketch. Please note there is no
tuition during the sketchwalks. We all draw what we wish,
following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><a href="https://www.harrowschool.org.uk/boarding/the-houses"><b>Harrow School</b></a>
- The school offers numerous historic buildings on the High Street and Church Hill that are delight to sketching. From the Gothic Revival charm of the <a href="https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101079728-harrow-school-chapel-harrow-on-the-hill-ward" target="_blank">Harrow School Chapel</a> and the neo-Gothic facade of the <a href="https://www.museumslondon.org/museum/166/old-speech-room-gallery-harrow-school" target="_blank">Old Speech Room Gallery</a> to the eclectic style of the <a href="https://victorianweb.org/history/education/harrow/5.html" target="_blank">Vaughan Library</a>, each structure presents its own architectural interest. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.stmarysharrow.org.uk/"><b>St Mary’s Church</b></a>
- Consecrated by St. Anselm in 1094 with a notable 12th-century tower, the church holds a fascinating history within its graveyard, featuring tombstones of interest, including the Leighton family's mosaic-adorned monument and a diverse array of crosses, while also being renowned as a place where the poet Lord Byron would sit and compose verse atop a tomb beside an elm tree, reflecting on the surrounding countryside that he affectionately called the "spot of my youth". Tragically, it is also the final resting place of Byron's daughter Allegra, who passed away at a young age and was buried in an unmarked grave on the churchyard grounds, marking a poignant connection to the poet's own eventual demise.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.littleobservationist.com/village-vibes-londons-harrow-hill/"><b>High Street</b></a>
- One of the most iconic views in Harrow-on-the-Hill is found at the junction where West Street and High Street meet, where a charming fountain, accompanied by a Hill Shop’s clock, serves as a focus. This location captures the essence of Harrow's unique character, with its hilly terrain causing the roads to split and meander. The scene offers a picturesque glimpse into the town's history and charm, allowing visitors to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and appreciate the architectural beauty that surrounds this notable intersection. Exploring the surrounding streets reveals a captivating array of architectural delights, ranging from Georgian townhouses to Victorian-era structures, providing a diverse and inspiring urban landscape for sketchers.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><br /></p><a href="http://www.harrowhilltrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gantry_project_pdf.pdf"><b>The King's Head gantry</b></a>
- </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">At the southern edge of the hill, you'll find a small green adorned with a </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">hanging gantry</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> and a portrait of Henry VIII. This green is home to the King's Head Hotel (now flats), constructed in 1770 on the site where Henry VIII's hunting lodge once stood. The combination of historical significance, the unique hanging gantry, and the green surroundings make this area an intriguing subject for further sketching.</span></div><div><br /></div>

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BattelsHarrow/photos?locale=en_GB">Battels Arts Café</a>
at no. 64,
<a href="https://dollshouseonthehill.co.uk/">Dolls House on the Hill</a>
vintage cafe at no. 44 with both pavement and indoor seating, and
<a href="https://www.eightysixrestaurant.co.uk/">Eighty-Six</a> restaurant

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Harrow-on-the-Hill is easily accessible by mainline trains (Chiltern
Railways), London Underground via the Metropolitan Line (Harrow-on-the-Hill
Station) or the Piccadilly Line (South Harrow Station and Sudbury Hill
Station), and by bus (routes 258 and H17). </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Harrow School and the village are a steep uphill walk from local
stations, so whether you travel by train, Tube or car, we urge you
to save your energy for sketching, and take a short bus ride to our meeting
point at the war memorial.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>From Harrow-on-the-Hill station</b> (7 minutes)</span>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;">To find the bus station, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">turn right after you come through the ticket barriers and go down the steps -- the bus station will be on your left. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Go to bus stop C, t</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">ake the 258 or H17 bus towards
Wembley Central, and alight at Harrow School. From there the war memorial
building is a one minute walk. </span></div>

and walk to the memorial building.</span>

<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">By car</span></b></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />The village streets are narrow, and parking on the hill is limited.
But there is parking at Harrow-on-the-Hill station (Saturdays £3) and at the
St George and St Ann shopping centres nearby, where food and toilet
facilities are also available. </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Even if you arrive by car, it is advisable to take the H17 or 258 bus from
stop C at the bus station as the hill is VERY steep. If you prefer to go on
foot, please allow 15 minutes to reach the meeting point, but be aware that
it is a steep uphill climb. After passing through the ticket barriers at the
station, take the exit on the left. At the end of the service road, make
another left turn, and then take the first right to go up Grove Hill.</span>

accessible toilets. Sudbury Hill station is also step-free. For more

<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Urban Sketchers London follow current health and safety guidelines,
and we count on all our sketchers to do the same. As always, we keep an eye on
developments concerning Covid, and even though restrictions have been
lifted, we think it's sensible to do everything we can to keep
ourselves and fellow sketchers safe when we're together. The risk of
infection for outdoor events is low, but basic guidance still applies:</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Please do not attend if you feel unwell</li>
<li>Wear a face covering when you're close to others</li>
<li>Give people space</li>
<li>Practise good hand hygiene. </li></ul></span></div>

parks and people, and blue plaques, including one for </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jimmy Hendrix and another for Simon Bolivar. There is no shortage of
subjects to draw, and we invite you to join us for either the August or

<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the beginning, a
gathering place in the middle and another one at the end, when we
‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a group
photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are there to help
you feel at ease and give you some ideas about what to sketch.
Please note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks. We all
draw what we wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

<h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">Covid guidance</span></span>
</h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Urban Sketchers London remains alert to national guidance about COVID-19
and its variants. Even though restrictions have been lifted, it's sensible
to take all necessary precautions to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers
safe throughout the event. The risk of infection for outdoor events is
low, but basic guidance still applies:<br />
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel unwell</span>
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a face covering when you're close to others</span>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give people space</span></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Practise good hand hygiene.</span>
</li>
</ul></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wimbledon Village is an elegant enclave on a hill with well preserved

Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the beginning,
a gathering place in the middle and another one at the end, when
we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a group
photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are there to
help you feel at ease and give you some ideas about what to
sketch. Please note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks.
We all draw what we wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

<span style="font-family: verdana;">There is no shortage of cafes and pubs in the village, and on Wimbledon
Common the Windmill Tearooms are situated next door to Wimbledon
Windmill. During our Sunday session on 6 August the <a href="https://www.lfm.org.uk/markets/wimbledon/" target="_blank">Wimbledon Farmers Market</a> will be set up in the High Street from 10am - 3pm, with fresh
produce, cakes, artisan bread and ready to eat picnic food.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Toilets are available in nearby pubs and cafes. The Wimbledon Windmill
has wheelchair-accessible toilets.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Our meeting place at the Wimbledon War Memorial is a 20 minute walk
uphill from the station. If you prefer to save your energy for
sketching, when you arrive at Wimbledon Station go to bus stop L and take the no. 93 bus to
the War Memorial, alighting at bus stop R. Or take the no. 200 bus to
Wimbledon Village/Ridgeway, alight at bus stop N and walk five minutes
to the War Memorial.</span>

Most footpaths in the Common </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">are wide enough for wheelchair users and consist of </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">compact earth, gravel and muddy surface. Slopes on the paths range from
slight to moderate and steep, and there are benches along the paths

Urban Sketchers London remains alert to national guidance about
COVID-19 and its variants. Even though restrictions have been lifted,
it's sensible to take all necessary precautions to keep ourselves and
fellow sketchers safe throughout the event. The risk of infection for
outdoor events is low, but basic guidance still applies:<br />
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel unwell</span>
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a face covering when you're close to others</span>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give people space</span></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Practise good hand hygiene.</span></li></ul><ul>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000;">Hello! This week we invite you to explore Fleet Street and the
surrounding area.</span></span>
</h1>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Fleet Street has a long history of printing and publishing, and is also
known as the home of London’s newspaper industry. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The street is long and dense, featuring many architecturally interesting
buildings of various styles, such as the Art Deco Daily Express Building on
the corner of Fleet Street and Shoe Street and, further east in Ludgate
Hill, the English Baroque edifice of St. Paul’s Cathedral.</span>

Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the
beginning, a gathering place in the middle and another one at
the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a
group photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are
there to help you feel at ease and give you some ideas about
what to sketch. Please note there is no tuition during the
sketchwalks. We all draw what we wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/" style="text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers Vision and Values </a>and sharing our drawings at the end.

</h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">The nearest stations to our meeting point are the Blackfriars Underground
and train stations on the Circle and District Lines. F</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">or those moving around London, t</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">he Blackfriars Underground station is likely the best option. For those
wanting to travel from the Temple Church area/directions to the west, there
is the Temple Underground station, also on the Circle and District
Lines. </span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana;">Accessibility</span>
</h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">The Starbucks coffee shop mentioned above has a wheelchair-accessible
entrance and toilet. The Punch Tavern and LEON Ludgate restaurant have
wheelchair-accessible entrances. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub is 'totally
inaccessible' to people in wheelchairs. For d<span style="font-family: verdana;">etailed accessibility information on other venues in the area, have a

Even though restrictions have been lifted, it's sensible to take all necessary precautions to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers safe throughout the event. The risk of infection for outdoor events is low, but basic guidance still applies:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel unwell</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a face covering when you're close to others</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give people space</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Practise good hand hygiene.</span></li></ul><br /></span>

Each one has a leader, a meeting point at the beginning,
a gathering place in the middle and another one at the end, when
we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a group
photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are there to
help you feel at ease and give you some ideas about what to
sketch. Please note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks.
We all draw what we wish, following the </span><a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana; font-size: 15.4px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: verdana; font-size: 15.4px;"> and sharing our drawings at the end.</span></span></div></h3><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana;">Join us on either of the dates above to sketch in
<a href="https://www.crystalpalaceparktrust.org/crystal-palace-park-leaflet.pdf">Crystal Palace Park</a>. Built in 1852 by Sir Joseph Paxton, the park is situated in South East
London and home to the famous Crystal Palace Dinosaurs.</span>
</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">The dinosaurs were commissioned in 1852 to accompany the Crystal Palace after
its move from the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, and they were designed and
sculpted by
<a href="https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/crystal-palace-dinosaurs.html#:~:text=The%20best%2Dknown%20of%20Benjamin,and%20Hylaeosaurus%2C%20and%20two%20Iguanodons." target="_blank">Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins</a>. By modern standards, the sculptures are completely inaccurate, having been
based on the scientific knowledge of the time, but they are fascinating to
look at and even more fun to draw. They were the first ever life-sized models
of extinct animals to be sculpted, and after extensive restoration they were
upgraded to Grade I listed in 2007.</span>

Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the beginning, a
gathering place in the middle and another one at the end, when we
‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a group
photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are there to help
you feel at ease and give you some ideas about what to sketch.
Please note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks. We all draw
what we wish, following the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/faq/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Urban Sketchers manifesto</a> and sharing our drawings at the end.

</h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Urban Sketchers London remains alert to national guidance about COVID-19
and its variants. Even though restrictions have been lifted, it's sensible
to take all necessary precautions to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers
safe throughout the event. The risk of infection for outdoor events is
low, but basic guidance still applies:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel unwell</span>
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a face covering when you're close to others</span>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give people space</span></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Practise good hand hygiene.</span>
</li>
</ul></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana;">This May and June we return to the pretty town of Richmond.</span>
</h1></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br />So good we are sketching twice! We are aiming to reduce the size
of our sketching crowds by repeating this sketchwalk on two different
dates.<br /><br />Join us on either of the dates above to sketch in this
historic and interesting location beside the River Thames. On the location map
below are the historic Richmond Green and Richmond Theatre, the ancient Old
Palace Yard, the spectacle of Richmond Riverside, a vibrant market, and the
option to climb Richmond Hill to sketch the only view in the country that is
protected by an Act of Parliament. There are many opportunities for
refreshment throughout the day.<br /><br />The day is run by Helen Hayhoe and
John Swanson.<br /><br /></span>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000;">Meeting point at 11am</span></span>
</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">We will gather by the red telephones on the corner of Richmond Green, by the
Prince’s Head and Cricketers pubs (scroll down to see our location map). This is about a 10 minute walk from
Richmond Train Station and five minutes from Richmond Bus Station (see location
map below).</span>

</h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #990000;">Food and drink and conveniences</b>
</div>
<br />There are many cafés and pubs nearby to keep us refreshed throughout
the day.<br /><br />Nearby loos can be found in Richmond Station, Marks and
Spencer on George Street and The Old Town Hall. There are numerous cafes and
pubs with facilities. Richmond is part of the
<a href="https://www.richmond.gov.uk/services/spendapenny" target="_blank">Community Toilet Scheme </a>which lists other options.<br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000;">Getting there</span></span>
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000;">Public transport</span></span>
</h4>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.visitrichmond.co.uk/plan-your-visit/getting-here" target="_blank">Travel to Richmond upon Thames</a>
is quick and easy. Located in Zone 4 and 5 of London’s travel network, it
takes approximately 20 minutes to reach the borough from London Waterloo
station.<br /><br />The borough is connected with direct railway (South
Western Railway) and London Underground links. The town is served by many
buses.<br /></span>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #990000;">Accessibility</span></span>
</h4>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">All of the locations mentioned in this post are wheelchair-accessible.
Richmond Museum has an accessible toilet, and there is one at Eileen’s Café
along the towpath towards Petersham Meadow. Please let us know if you need
support on the day.</span>

</h4>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Urban Sketchers London remains alert to national guidance about COVID-19
and its variants. Even though restrictions have been lifted, it's sensible
to take all necessary precautions to keep ourselves and fellow sketchers
safe throughout the event. The risk of infection for outdoor events is
low, but basic guidance still applies:</span></span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel
unwell</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wear a face covering when you're close to others</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give
people space</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Practice good hand hygiene.</span></span></li></ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Located in the East End of London, Shoreditch is a trendy and bustling neighbourhood that has undergone significant transformation in recent
years. Once an industrial area, it is now a hub for thriving industries
such as arts, fashion and technology.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Urban Sketchers London remains alert to national guidance about
COVID-19 and its variants. Even though restrictions have been
lifted, it's sensible to take all necessary precautions to keep
ourselves and fellow sketchers safe throughout the event. The risk
of infection for outdoor events is low, but basic guidance still
applies:<br />
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Please do not attend if you feel unwell</span>
</li>
<li>Wear a face covering when you're close to others</li>
<li>Give people space</li>
<li>Practice good hand hygiene.</li>
</ul></span>
