EC2M Area Guide

Meet at Liverpool Street station for a short underground journey to St Paul's where we will hear about the history of the cathedral. Then we will cross the Millennium Bridge to the south bank of the Thames. Here we will learn that the area of Southwark was outside the jurisdiction of the City of London and therefore the home of the wild side of life, brothels, theatres, prostitution, etc. Passing the Globe, the famous Clink Prison, Drake's Golden Hind and the Bishop of Winchester's Palace - these areas will bring to life what is was like to live here in bygone days. The walk will finish in the area of the world famous Borough Market. Walkers to make their own way to Liverpool Street Station by 9.50am to then go and meet the guide, Gary Egerton near the indoor Kindertransport statue. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and comfortable walking shoes. Non members welcome. If this event is sold out, please add your name to the Waiting List in case of cancellations or additional dates.

After a cracking first night, Stand Up At Sir returns to Sir Devonshire Square for a second evening of properly curated comedy from Nice N' Spiky. Topping the bill is Charlie Baker, the award-winning comedian, actor, broadcaster and acclaimed jazz singer whose infectious blend of comedy, music and storytelling has seen The Guardian hail him as "a superior take on the modern showman". Joining him is Michelle Shaughnessy, the Toronto-born, London-based comic whose debut album hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts, with TV and writing credits including CBC's Still Standing - and a Katherine Ryan seal of approval ("Hilarious! The ideal night out"). Also on the bill is Blank Peng the incognito bilingual stand-up comic who began performing in Mandarin before switching to English after moving to the UK. In just a year, she became the first female winner of the Top Secret Comedy Gong and has since been a finalist for Leicester New Comedian of the Year and runner-up in the West End New Act competition. Your host for the evening is Ali Woods - Hackney Empire New Act of the Year winner, star of Comedy Central Live and ITV's The Stand Up Sketch Show, and the man behind the viral sketches with millions of views across TikTok and Instagram. Stand Up at Sir is a brand-new comedy night bringing bold stand-up, sharp wit, and after-dark energy to the heart of the City. Designed for Shoreditch creatives, curious hotel guests, and Londoners who like their laughs loud and a little unfiltered, this isnt your polite comedy club. Expect killer line-ups, strong cocktails, and the kind of punchlines that make tomorrows breakfast slightly awkward. Check in for the night. Laugh out loud. Artists listed are correct at time of going to press, in the unlikely event that an artist needs to cancel, we reserve the right to amend the line up without notice and no refunds will be due.
