King's Cross to Farringdon - Historical London Walk
Trace the development of London back to the Middle Ages and discover some of the darker tales of yesteryear!
Underground Railways, Shakespeare, Dickens, Health Spas and Stark Prisons: London’s amazing change through the centuries.
Walking through Clerkenwell and Farringdon, this area has seen enormous change over the centuries - changes that have had an impact well beyond the boundaries of London. From the underground railway (the world's first), the advent of social housing to the quest to provide clean water, our walk looks at life for ordinary people in an ever-changing world.
The walk starts with the engineering marvels of the Victorian Railway era; Kings Cross and St. Pancras Stations, now reborn with the arrival of High Speed Rail from Paris. And yet also the site of London’s very first road ‘by-pass’ in the mid 18th Century-why?
