About this Event
Walk: Religion, Writers and Reformers - Historic Stoke Newington
This North London district was once home to wealthy city merchants but has also attracted a number of notable personalities including religious nonconformists and some famous writers such as Daniel Defoe and Edgar Allen Poe. Learn how Poe gained inspiration while at school in the area, discover the delights of Stoke Newington’s Church Street without a chain store in sight, visit Abney Park cemetery where William Boot and other Salvation Army leaders were “promoted” to glory and walk through delightful Clissold Park with its aviary, deer enclosure and traces of the New River.
The tour will last approximately 120 minutes depending on the walking pace of the group
