Explore the link between the history and heritage of Southwark and mental well being, from Dickens to Shakespeare, Dr 'lexicon' Johnson, Henry Maudsley, Chaucer and many more. Join us as we delve into the nocturnal experience of the Borough of Southwark and tell `The story of London’s past, present and future through walking and filming. Date: Saturday 20 June Time: 12 midnight Starting from: Tate Modern, SE1 9TG (meet at the main entrance of Holland Street) Finish:The Maudsely Hospital, Denmark Hill , SE5 9TG www.cooltanarts.org.uk The Largactyl Shuffle “The CoolTan Way” is a guided cultural arts walk designed to encourage mental and physical well-being through art, history, humour and exercise as well as de-stigmatising mental health. Our participants (people experiencing or recovering from mental distress) are central to this project, as organisers, tour guides, artists, or walkers dramatically enhancing their quality of life, contributing to reducing relapse and assisting in their search for support and recovery. It is a 5 Mile walk - allow 3-4 hours. Please feel free to bring sandwiches. The walk is free but a voluntary contribution will be appreciated; all money donated goes towards the work of the Charity and to keep the Largactyl Shuffle shuffling along. Walkers do not have to complete the whole walk and can leave the walk at anytime and or join along the way. A volunteer at CoolTan Arts will lead this walk. TBA Walkers meet at 12midnight.
