Apart from a place where you could buy anything from high class drapery to a jar of pickled fish it was also a destination for evening entertainment such as to the sadly long gone Palace Theatre to see Marie Lloyd and other famous music hall stars.You may be surprised to learn that Keats made occasional visits to Walthamstow as his sister was studying at a Marsh Street School and Pepys visited at least 23 times to see two of his contemporaries.Meeting placeThe walk starts outside St James's Street Overground Station (Weaver Line). This is one stop from Walthamstow Central in the direction of Liverpool Street.It is adviseable not to drive to this walk as parking is very limited for non-residents.
