The walk went beyond my expectations. The tour was engaging, full of interesting information and details about Chaplin and the people around him.
I went on one of the Culture Seekers Chaplin Walks last Sunday and I can highly recommend it. I enjoyed every moment, from the start when the Tour Guide met the group dressed in a life-like Chaplin costume, to the end, when he invited us to enter a small contest to win a prize! In between, we walked short distances between different buildings in the Lambeth area of London where Chaplin spent his early years. At each stop, Robert gave a very interesting talk, recounting the history behind the building before us and bringing his often poignant tales to life with added humour.
Excellent walk in every respect! Interesting, and oftentimes sad-stroke-shocking, story behind formative years of Charlie Chaplin that also brings London's Lambeth area at the turn of the 19/20th centuries back to life. If you want to know the stuff this world famous comedian was really made of or wondering what the life of less well-off people was like a hundred and something years ago, then you are in for a teat! The tour is very well organised, captivating and will leave you wanting to see and know more. Definitely not a one to miss!
I’m sure this tour is great but unfortunately after booking 24 hours before the scheduled start my order sat pending until 2 hrs before it was due to start, so assuming all would be ok I travelled to London only to be told it was cancelled. So unless you live within spitting distant of Kennington I’d book this well in advance and hopefully you’ll be given enough notice to attend.
Very fascinating tour. It was enjoyable and full of interesting facts from the start to the end. Robert was brilliant and very passionate about the subject. He thoroughly complemented the presentation with the use of photographs and images. I would definitely recommend this tour.
