"On April 30 I'm hosting a night of imaginary film soundtracks for Weird Walk at Hackney's Moth Club. Arrive early and enjoy a nearby Weird Walk drawn from my forthcoming book of perambulations."
"You'll want to begin by taking the Windrush line to Haggerston Station, from where you'll walk northwest up Enfield Road, out of the southwest corner of De Beauvoir Square, and along Northchurch Terrace to St Peter's Church."
"Next walk north up De Beauvoir road, go right along Englefield Road and then north up to 121 Mortimer Road, the exoskeletal home of William Lyttle, the Mole Man Of Hackney, who excavated miles of tunnels beneath his house until a sinkhole opened outside in 2006."
Stewart Lee invites Londoners to explore the city's hidden histories through a guided Weird Walk in De Beauvoir. The walk begins at Haggerston Station and includes significant sites such as St Peter's Church, where occultist Samuel Liddell Macgregor Mathers was christened, and the home of William Lyttle, known as the Mole Man of Hackney. The walk emphasizes the beauty of discovering forgotten stories and the peculiarities of urban life, encouraging participants to engage with the city's rich folklore.
