CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle is a guided cultural walk through Southwark from the Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, to Tate Modern every third Saturday of the month, with a different focus each month depending on the season.

The Largactyl Shuffle is designed to encourage mental and physical well being, through art, exercise, humour and history, de-stigmatizing mental distress.

A great opportunity to learn new things about South London and hear stories you won’t find in guidebooks, meet new friends and have fun.

Along the route walkers will have the opportunity to visit CoolTan Arts and view artwork created by CoolTan participants in CoolTan Arts Independent Gallery.

The walk is free, voluntary donations are appreciated; all money donated goes towards the work of the charity and keeps the Largactyl Shuffle shuffling.

Walkers meet at 12noon at the main entrance of Maudsley Hospital, Denmark Hill, SE5 8AZ and walk to Tate Modern, Holland Street, SE1 9TG. Call CoolTan Arts on 07985658443 if you require further information or cannot find the group on the day.
