2026 WALK ‘St Leonard’s PUBS – Then & Now
START: 4pm sharp on Wednesdays, 8th July & 12 August, 2026 from outside St Leonards Warrior Square rail station on its Kings Road side. Please book via the form or reply email
Taking sustenance from its 2025 popularity, our roving researcher Stephen will visit the FORMER & extant PUB SITES OF ST LEONARDS to touch on their rich history.
After 60-90mins, the TOUR ENDS outside the Horse & Groom pub, Mercatoria, St Leonards (enter at your own risk!)
Stephen is a volunteer from Burtons’ St Leonards Society, a civic charity since 1970. Walks are free for Members but public donations are welcome.
Are wheelchairs and mobility scooters welcome on this walk?
Helena, yes, but at the discretion of the user. No steps. The route is Western Road, Cross Street, South Street, London Road, Norman Road, Gensing Road, Shepherd Street, London Road, North Street, Gensing Road, ending in theory at the Horse and Groom but effectively at the Nag’s Head. So the only steepish section is Cross Street. Some narrow, busy pavements especially London Road. Pace is slow, with explanations only on safe pavement areas. Duration about an hour. As the first ten minutes or so of explanation is in the station yard next to Warrior Square station a parasol may be a good idea in hot weather.
