Poetry Walk Starting at Una Marson Library

Librarians from the National Poetry Library and Southwark’s very own Una Marson Library have collaborated to produce a walk that connects the two! Beginning at Una Marson Library, itself named in honour of a poet, we’ll stop for carefully chosen readings at celebrated literary landmarks like Shakespeare’s Globe and the Tabard Inn, where Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales began – as well as some lesser-known points of poetic interest you might have passed by a thousand times – before walking along the south bank of the Thames to the iconic National Poetry Library in the South Bank Centre.

Over 2 hours. Please wear appropriate footwear for an outdoor walk, bring water, and be aware of traffic at road crossings.
