Lone Pine London Event

Around forty members attended a presentation on Lone Pine locations at the Commonwealth Hall near the British Library.

This illustrated talk by Richard Griffiths had particular emphasis on the places that feature in Lone Pine London.

After lunch we travelled on foot and by bus to recreate something of the atmosphere of the book as we explored the mews where James Wilson lived and also where the forgers worked. Our activities were also suspicious as a police car stopped to take a closer look at what the group was doing. No arrests were made. Our journey really brought to life the endpaper map in the books. Our walk ended at Albert Bridge, Chelsea which features on the cover of the Newnes edition of the story.
