Penny Dreadful events:
One Eye Grey is a twenty first century penny dreadful packed with scary London stories. It comes out three times a year and with every new edition there are a series of events including film showings, bands, talks and London walking tours.
These walks are one offs for the magazine which so far have included St James, Vauxhall, Waterloo, Borough, Bloomsbury, Holborn, Clerkenwell and Blackfriars. If you have ideas for future walks please get in touch as we need to sort out our programme for the October edition.
Throughout the year though other activities take place linked in with local fetes or carnivals. Events are usually free but often require booking as we don't wish to repeat the incident on the St James' walk when it dawned on the tour guide that more than fifty people approaching Parliament does actually constitute a mob and is, hence, illegal. |
