This ride, devised by Harry Clark (Lets Go Cycling) for Healthy Rides in 2018, visits locations associated with Charlie Chaplin’s early years when he lived in Walworth and Kennington. It is a 9 mile route with 10 stops. Bruce leading. Start/finish Burgess Park Café, Chumleigh Gdns 10am start. First stop East Lane where Charlie was born, then St Johns Church where his parents married. Next West Squ, another place Charle lived, then the Imperial Was Museum, which was Bethlem Hospital where his mother was a patient. Into Kennington to the Three Stags pub, frequented by Charlie’s father, followed by the Lambeth Workhouse, now the Cinema Museum, with which Charie was well acquainted. Finally 3 more places where Charlie lived and another popular pub. Attached is Harry’s summary of Charlie’s early life and other information and his annotated list of the locations we will be cycling to (also web link to this here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Charlie-Chaplin-PDF-2019_06_27-21_53_24-UTC.pdf).
