If they're all in a single conversation, then yes: click the Forward All link in the top right when viewing the conversation. Otherwise, no, you cannot bulk-forward random emails.

In newer versions of Gmail this has moved to the More button under Forward All, and is only visible when you are viewing a conversation of stacked email (stacked by title replies):

    confirmed: I can't find any way to do this, and the solution LBushkin proposed no longer works. p.s. we'll always have London

There is an easier way. Apply a common label to all the messages that you would like to forward and then use this Google Scripts to forward them all to any other email address.

  • Thanks for a great answer. Probably worth mentioning you will lose your label. You can easily add new label as "forwarded" by adding one more column to table and 3 lines of code.

  • It works great, but be patient since the forwarding takes a while to start.

You can even try this script which I created using Google Apps Script. It helps you forward bunch of emails at one go. It allows you to load and forward first 50 recent emails from your inbox. Please see the discussion thread to know more on how to forward messages tagged to a label as well.

    Please provide some more information, not just a link. The linked web page might disappear some time, leaving your answer useless.

You can also convert the whole thing into a PDF by using the print button at the top of all email conversations.

As mentioned before "...you cannot bulk-forward random emails" even now in 2020.
As an alternative though, one can forward them as attachments.
