Overview

Join the dots of famous Nelsons in this pleasant walk through Westminster, Lambeth, and Southwark. Starting with the statue of Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square, we visit Horatio Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square, see the bust of Mandela outside Royal Festival Hall, and finish at the quirky Lord Nelson pub in Southwark. Note: no locations linked to Willie Nelson are planned!

Optional: Please join us in the pub at the end of the walk for a drink and a chat.
