Following a great talk this evening with Francisco and Ximena from Dérive Lab, we are pleased to release an updated programme for walks. These will mostly focus on walking canals and rivers, but also cover the Barbican, Streatham and Lewisham, as well as involving workshops to produce and collate maps, texts, and photos. Come and discover London, and participate in #derivasporLondres!
