This ride, devised by Harry Clark for Healthy Rides in 2018 and 19, visits locations associated with Charlie Chaplin’s early years when he lived in Walworth and Kennington.  It is a 9 mile route with 10  stops. Bruce leading.  Start/finish Burgess Park Café, Chumleigh Gdns 10am start.  First stop East Lane where Charlie was born, then St Johns Church where his parents married. Next West Squ, another place Charle lived, then the Imperial Was Museum, which was Bethlem Hospital where his mother was a patient. Into Kennington to the Three Stags pub, frequented by Charlie’s father, followed by the Lambeth Workhouse, now the Cinema Museum, with which Charie was well acquainted. Finally 3 more places where Charlie lived and another popular pub. Attached is Harry’s summary of Charlie’s early life and other information and his annotated list of the locations we will be cycling to (also web link to this here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Charlie-Chaplin-PDF-2019_06_27-21_53_24-UTC.pdf).

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.    
    • Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.
