NSC contingent at the 2019 London Hat Walk

As part of London Hat Week, this annual event is just a chance to parade around town showing off your finest titfer in the company of likeminded petasophiles.* There is a new route this year, which has now been revealed on the web page for the event. Meet up outside Morley Gallery, 61 Westminster Bridge Road at 11.30am (to be ready to set off at 12 noon). This year they are planning a circular route with plenty of photo opportunities along the way and they expect to be walking for approximately 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace—it’s more of a stroll than a walk.

The LHW22 Hat Exhibition will be open on Sunday so if there are any non-walkers in your party, they could admire the exhibits while you toddle. THe route will end up back at Morley College after the walk for a group photo opportunity on the steps in front of the main entrance before finishing off the week in style at the LHW22 Wrap Party (for pre-booking required, at a cost of £20).

Dress Code: Headwear eye-catching enough to stop traffic!

*OK, I made that up, from the Greek petasos, a specific kind of broad-brimmed felt hat worn in the ancient world.
