And Did Those Feet

Welcome to the new site.

I  have not yet had time to load the vast content of the old site, but I am working on it!  But you can read the original blog here .

This site is about London, archaeology, history and literary history, and more generally, heritage and museums.

And Did Those Feet has extensive experience of working in the heritage field. It has run several small museums, provided consultancy for many museums and leading heritage organisations. and managed many event programmes, lectures, walks,  cultural study tours, and conferences.

Kevin Flude lectures at:

Central St Martins College on the M.A. For Narrative Environments course

He is currently running a project in conjunction with the British Museum on Room 3 and the Tokyo Olympics.

University of Westminster on the ‘Londinium to the Blitz’ module.

He is delivering a 10 week course on the History of Museums to Stevenage Art Society.

He is a former Honorary Lecturer at UCL and Associate Lecturer at the University of Worcester on the Museums module.

The good news is that I am doing my fourth season of Virtual Guided Walks. On the other hand I had to cancel my first season of outdoor walks since Covid.  For more details of the programme click here:

I have a large repertory of walks, tours, and lectures  in my backpack.   I mostly give them for two excellent organisations. London Walks, and Road Scholar.

I will begin physical walks again on once it is allowed and safe.     

My next study tour for Road Scholar is …. Well who knows, (hopefully Sept 2021) but ?

Physical Walks for London Walks

When they begin again I should be doing one every Thursday (from 7th Jan 2021)  – an archaeology walk at 2.30 and a history and literature one in the evening at 6.30.   I am sharing them with a colleague so I will be doing every other week.  

Virtual Walks for London Walks

My new series of Virtual Walks begins on January 14th with a literary look at Roman London.     More details of the programme click here:

Road Scholar Programmes

Once upon a safe time in the summer I gave a programme  called ‘London’s Neighbourhoods‘  which is a great short tour of London with a day in the East End taking in the Street Art, a Day in the City, Greenwich and Bermondsey.

Also, I led  one called ‘Quintessential Britain’ which takes in London, Oxford, Bath, Stonehenge, Cotswold, Chester, Wales, Haworth, York, Edinburgh and other places en route.

A complete list of my repertory of walks. lectures, study tours can be found here:
