[From the History of the Group] 'London Group? "After talking to several members in the London area it appears there may be scope for a London group. That does not mean walks around Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben and Waterloo Station. The idea would be to form a local group from members in the London region to walk, basically, wherever they want to. There is in fact a great deal of countryside around London, and considerably more just beyond. If anyone is interested please contact ...".

'Legible London is an easy-to-use signage system that presents information in a range of ways, including maps and directional information, to help people find their way ...

Our research shows that nine out of ten people were keen to see more Legible London signs introduced.'
