EAB News 2010-08-21: East London Esperanto Group's London Walk

An Esperanto walk around the City of London

On 21st August 2010, East London Esperanto Group held a guided walk around the city of London. Mark Drake, who works above the Guildhall art gallery, led the group through the side-streets and narrow passages of the city of London, visting many famous sights and a few lesser-known ones. The tour included an impromptu visit inside the Guildhall (where Zamenhof delivered a famous speech on 21st August 1907 during the third World Esperanto Congress), and a pause for a picnic in Paternoster Square overlooking Saint Paul's cathedral . Mark had expected the walk to take about two hours, but there was so much to see and the weather was so fine that it actually took four hours.
