Taking its name from a line in the WB Yeats poem Easter 1916, the 'Terrible Beauty' walking tour will take you from Trafalgar Square to Whitehall, exploring the impact of the Irish rebellion of 1916 from the London perspective. Meet at the South Side of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square at 2pm March 17 to take part.
There will be two others over Paddy's weekend: 'Where the String Broke', a history of Camden as the city's Irish capital (Camden Town tube March 18, 2pm) and 'The Emerald City', a walk through the city's Irish landmarks along Fleet Street to Covent Garden (meet at the main steps of St Paul's Cathedral, Sunday March 19, 2pm).
