Ealing Walks with a Difference

Ongoing Project

This project will deliver three guided walks in different parts of Ealing Town, namely Ealing Common, West Ealing and South Ealing.

Our focus for each area we explore will be on how accessible and safe the area feels to the participants and to those we might meet.

The aim for all our walks is to find out about a lesser known area while bringing diverse people together to learn from and about one another.

The walks are short in distance with frequent stops and last about two hours starting at 11am on the day. They are followed by an optional stop at a local café to give people a further opportunity to socialize.

On the walks we will inform people about the history and all the changes that have taken place in the given area as well as seeking the opinions and observations of those present and their memories if they are older residents.

The walks will be led by Joanna Dudzinska, the founder of Talking and Exploring and of the Ealing Walking Talking and Exploring Group on Facebook, with the help of Anthony Smith and with the support from interested community members. The group is a space to keep in touch, share and to document our walks and events.

The three Ealing Walks with a Difference will take place as follows:

  • Around Ealing Common on Wednesday 27th May. Meeting outside Ealing Common Station at 11am for a gentle two-hour walk through the Common and surrounding streets
  • Around West Ealing on Friday 17th July. Meeting outside West Ealing Station at 11am for a gentle two-hour walk through the area
  • Around South Ealing on Sunday 9th August. Meeting outside South Ealing Cemetery at 11am for a gentle two-hour walk through the area.

The walks are advertised on the Talking and Exploring’s Eventbrite page.

Usually we just advertise walks publicly but for these walks we have created both public and private tickets, with the private ones meant for individuals connected with local organisations who are or can be given the link for them.

For each walk we would welcome the involvement of anyone who knows the particular area well. This is how you can reach us: https://www.talkingandexploring.online/contact.html.

How you can help

We are rather limited in our IT,  graphic  and marketing skills so any help with putting together more appealing posters and other advertising materials for the walks would be gratefully appreciated. If you are a local organisation or business along any of the three routes in Ealing Town, then please get in contact and we can discuss how we can work together. On our walks, help is always useful in keeping the group together, marshalling people across roads and in engaging the participants in conversation so that everyone feels valued.
