The first of a series of enjoyable walks, tours and visits to places of living history and aesthetic interest.

While the world never actually came to an end, Camden has a history of disruptive events.  We'll be finding out more about Camden after a quick drink, starting with the canalside market and sampling some of the goodies on the way.

You'll find me with a hand-made sign 'London IVC' inside the pub (hopefully seated).  After meeting up in the pub, we'll be moving off to start the tour.  Please advise of any mobility or particular needs you may have that I can provide for.  Please text me if you are coming.

If  you'd like to participate by organising or even just suggesting an event in this series, please contact me.

Alexander is currently my favourite of the  Greek Cypriot restaurants in the Camden Town area, with typical Greek Taverna ambience and friendly service, which serves  extremely generous portions of very nicely cooked Greek and Greek Cypriot dishes; their ‘Mixed Grill’, ‘Steak cooked in wine’ and‘King Prawns cooked in garlic, butter & wine’   all being recommended dishes, and their portions are such that starters are often not necessary. Average price of meal with drinks & service around £30 - £35

Please book by mid-day on Thursday 19th September

Living History is about walks, tours, and visits to interesting, historical and aesthetic places and today sees us visiting the start of the Medieval pilgrimages to Canterbury, as well as Borough Market and Southwark Cathedral.

The Elm Tree in Elmers End has now become Beckenham & Bromley MYN's first pub evening of the month as our members decided that it was one of the best of the local watering holes. We try to sit in the restaurant area as the main bar area can be slightly noisy.

The pub is between Elmers End Green and Elmers End tram and South-Eastern Railway Stations.

Parking is free in the nearby side-streets and in the pub car-park.

There are quite a few bus routes in the local vicinity.

Most members will be eating here tonight and the meal prices are typical for this type of pub. Why not come and join us?

A return tour of some of Blackheath's fabulous pubs. All accessible from Blackheath Station. To include The Railway, The Princess of Wales and The Hare & Billet.

7.00-800pm The Railway:16 Blackheath Village, Blackheath SE3 9LE Vey close to Blackheath station. "Combining the best in British pub hospitality with individuality, character and quirky charm, The Railway lies at the heart of thriving Blackheath Village, just a short stroll from the picturesque heath itself."

8.15pm - 9.15pm The Hare & Billett: 1a Hare & Billett Rd, Blackheath, SE3 0QJ. "A place to enjoy all the things that are great about a real pub, conversation, food & drink and above all the atmosphere. We're Blackheath's favourite pub with a modern feel, subtle & comfortable furnishings helping us create a very warm welcome for friends, families & dogs alike. Winner of ‘Time Out’ Love London Awards for best pub in Blackheath 2016. We look forward to welcoming you."

9.30pm - 10.30pm The Princess of Wales: 1a Montpeier Rd, Blackheath, SE3 0RL. "Perched on the edge of Blackheath, The Princess of Wales is an iconic London pub, ahead of the game in providing the perfect setting for a truly memorable drinking and dining experience."

Our regular monthly visit to the Moon and Stars in Penge High Street. This is a Wetherspoon establishment so there is a wide choice of reasonably priced food and drinks that can be enjoyed in a muzak-free atmosphere; Thursday night is curry night in this pub so you won't be eating alone. Look for the IVC name on one of the tables.

We meet from 8.30pm, probably somewhere towards the back and possibly in one of the side-booths. New (and gregarious!) members are especially welcome.

Two days in Dungeness - a wildlife hot spot with unique plants and insects and a leading bird reserve.

We will share transport there and back as far as possible and stay in B&B.

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness spans Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, the hamlet of Dungeness, and the RSPB bird reserve and many other nearby birding hotspots. There is also a narrow track steam railway maintained by enthusiasts and a great fish and chip restaurant! There are also several smoke houses wher we can purchase smoked fish and cheeses to take home.This isolated location supports an odd population of eccentrics including the famous Derek Jarman pebble garden.
