A former comedy club owner has dedicated nearly half a decade to educating people about the Black history embedded in the fabric of Islington and London.
In 2016, Avril Nanton founded Avril’s Walks and Talks to take inquisitive groups on Black history walking tours.
She fell in love with the subject after attending numerous courses taken by author Robin Walker, later achieving a tour guiding qualification from the University of Westminster.
“I learnt everything I know from him,” Avril said. “In 1997, I went to my first class and my mind was blown.”
