We are the Mid Berks Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This train walk will allow Mid Berks members to travel from Reading or Wokingham to discover the history of some of the west of the City of London. We will wander along old streets and lanes that have been there for centuries, churches that did or did not survive the Great Fire of London in 1666, Wren designs, historic sites of the old Livery companies, or of public executions, walk in Shakespeare's footsteps all within sight of St Paul's - just a few examples of the day.
The walk is at a leisurely pace and is a flat walk but will be a longish day with travel and we are expected to be back at Waterloo by approximately 16:30. to catch the train back to Wokingham/Waterloo. You can bring a packed lunch but there are plenty of food outlets in London. Please bring adequate water for a summer walk and suitable footwear.
Meet at Reading Station at 08:55 to get tickets etc in plenty of time to catch the 09:09 train to Waterloo. For people travelling from Wokingham station, please get tickets to catch the 09:23 train. For those without railcards, group travel is available for 3 or more travelling together in a group and this will need to be organised prior to the trip. It is recommended that the purchase of a travel card is made which allows travel on tube or bus as well and allows flexible travel.
