"George Orwell's Islington" is a walk that takes in a number of locations with which Orwell would have been familiar, some of which changed beyond recognition during his lifetime, and others in the decades that followed.

Orwell was at his most prolific during his time in Islington, and it was here that he had to reach a decision between remaining "smothered under journalism", or rather to concentrate on the critical and financial success that he had finally achieved with Animal Farm. Here he began to develop his next novel, which would become Nineteen Eighty-Four.

The walk itself takes about an hour, with an additional hour for questions, answers and debate over tea or coffee, or perhaps ale. Dates and times are by mutual arrangement.
