Roses bring on an attack of hives? Candle-lit dinners an excuse for not washing the cutlery properly? Valentine's Day send you racing for the sick-bucket? If any one (or any combination) of those reactions sound familiar, you may wish to consider an alternative take on the loved-up weekend ahead. Don't worry, just because it's a celebration doesn't mean London's murderers took the day off. They just gave it a romantic twist. Come and hear about it this Saturday and/or Sunday as part of a slightly different Valentine's walk around the old area of Clerkenwell. Click on the days for a link to each walk.

See you there - don't be bullied into being nice and fluffy...
