You are warmly invited on a Winter Walk on Virginia Woolf’s birthday and to celebrate the publication of the Night Bird Press pamphlet Virginia Woolf in the City: Oxford Street Tide (forthcoming, January 2025). Participants will receive a signed copy of the pamphlet.
Date: Saturday 25 January 2025, 10am-12pm
Meeting point: Hanover Square W1S 1HU. End point: Tavistock Square, WC1H 9HG [more details will be sent on sign up]
 
Please join Liz Ison on a walk, inspired by Night Bird Press's forthcoming pamphlet which is in turn a reimagining of Woolf’s essay 'Oxford Street Tide'.
 
Liz will lead participants on a walk through the bustling area around Oxford Street to the quieter Bloomsbury streets ending in Tavistock Square Gardens. We will go in search of the London streets and places that served as literary inspiration for Virginia Woolf as well as the shops that she liked to frequent when she was in need of a new hat or pair of gloves, or some books to read. 
Participants must be 18 or over.
 
 “The garishness and gaudiness of the great rolling ribbon of Oxford Street has its fascination. It is like the pebbly bed of a river whose stones are for ever washed by a bright stream. Everything glitters and twinkles.” 
From Virginia Woolf’s 'Oxford Street Tide'
