About the event
Waterloo Station, Waterloo Road, and Waterloo Bridge all make more than one appearance in HG Wells' classic (1897) alien invasion novel 'The War of the Worlds'. This walk explores these connections in addition to Wells' personal connections and relationships to well known Lambeth residents such as Charlie Chaplin, Elsa Lanchester, Ida Lupino, Edith Nesbit, and King's College physician Dr. RD Lawrence, while weaving in other aspects of his life, works, and lasting legacy.
