We will meet at 10.30 at South Kensington tube station.
Prince Albert, Henry Cole and others organised the Great Exhibition of 1851 and, with the proceeds, began to plan an area in South Kensington dedicated to the arts, science and education.
The Victoria and Albert museum and the Science museum, which are included in our walk, were completed before Albert’s sudden death in 1861.
The rest of the project, later named Albertopolis, went ahead and other highlights of our walk will be the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal College of Music and the Albert Memorial.
The walk ends at South Kensington tube station at 12.30.
