John Nash, renowned as the architect of Regency London, was really better at something else. Come on this walk to find out how he won the West End. Sir Christopher Wren’s plans for rebuilding the City never left the drawing board. Nash’s plans for the West End still shape Londoners’ lives, because we are walking his streets today. Nash’s genius was understanding how to make a city function his way – and this walk from Trafalgar Square to Oxford Circus will show you how. Behind so many familiar icons his city remains - with its centres of power connected up and on display while its poorer quarters were tucked away. Join the walk on the corner of the Strand and Trafalgar Square by the exit from Charing Cross underground station. 6.00 p.m. start.
