Join CoolTan Arts for a unique Summer Solstice Midnight walk, explore the urban psycho-geography of South London, and learn about local history and familiar landmarks in a light you have never seen them before.

CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle is a guided cultural walk, designed to encourage mental and physical well being, through art, exercise, humor and history, and de-stigmatizing mental health. Along the way walkers are given the sort of information you won’t find in guidebooks – site specific insights into, for instance, the time when Charlie Chaplin’s mum was sent to the asylum for being a single parent; or a fresh take on the development of the technology behind the ECG brain scan.

Participate in this unique procession from the powerhouse Tate Modern to the madhouse and home of contemporary psychiatry, the Maudsley Hospital. Walkers meet at 12midnight at the main entrance of Tate Modern and finish the walk in the wee hours of Sunday at the Maudsley Hospital where we’ll have a restroom to relax after the walk.

The walk is free, but voluntary contributions would be appreciated to help the work of the charity to organize future walks. Feel free to bring sandwiches, tea, coffee for the route.

Additional Information

The Largactyl Shuffle is named after the anti-psychotic drug which has severe side effects including a characteristic shambolic walk and was used to treat mental illness.

CoolTan Arts Midnight Walk is part of Camberwell Arts Festival.

In 2009, CoolTan Arts received funding from Heritage Lottery Fund / Story of London to make a film about this groundbreaking Midnight Walk. The film will be shown in the Institute of Psychiatry on 24 June 2010 at 12 noon as part of Camberwell Arts Festival.

CoolTan Arts believes mental well being is enhanced by the power of creativity. It exists to inspire the well-being and creative participation of a diverse range of people through the production of quality art. CoolTan Arts is run by and for those with mental distress.
