This term, sessions will focus on a different topic each week, chosen by whoever attends the previous session. No booking is required, and teachers say it is a relaxed, low-pressure way to practise speaking outside normal lessons. Refreshments are provided, and the club has become popular enough that a second weekly session on Fridays may be added next term.»

Either way, gyms and wellness apps have started promoting 'silent walks' as a feature in their own right.»
