The A4 Great West Road was 100-years-old in 2025. In 1933 J. B. Priestley wrote that: "Being new, the Great West Road did not look English. We might have suddenly rolled into California." Participants will see some of what remains of this unique corridor of Art Deco architecture and hear about some of the, famous, lost buildings of the inter war era.

The walk starts in the Medieval market place, proceeds through 17th century development and 18th century housing then explores 19th/20th century industrial legacy and striking new 21st century Thames-side regeneration schemes.
