Bagging is an old sporting term given new life by walkers and climbers in the Scottish Highlands who indulge in 'Munro Bagging’ to claim each mountain ascent. Our unique London village walks includes many distinctive plaques which can be 'bagged' by the intrepid walker. However, in order to keep this 'sport' under some sort of control we have set up some rules and guidance.

Plaque scores are determined solely by their rarity and age and not by the importance of the person who has been commemorated.
