Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our free Ten-Minute Talk and Tea events which take place on the second Thursday of every month. Tea and biscuits will be provided.  

At the beginning of the century, St John Ambulance established a cycle response unit to respond quickly to incidents at events such as marathons and sponsored walks, where people are spread over a wide geographical area, but it wasn’t the organisation’s first unit on two wheels. Join Collections & Engagement Officer, Rachel Job, to learn about St John Ambulance’s very first Metropolitan Cyclist Division, established over 100 years earlier in 1892. 

This is a free event. Drop-ins welcome, or you can pre-register here. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
