Knowledge Quarter Walking Tour: The South of Euston Road
Event Information
Description
Ever wondered what goes on behind the doors of your fellow Knowledge Quarter partners? Ever wanted to know the real stories behind the area’s blue plaques? And what are those giant statues doing in a churchyard, anyway?
Introducing Knowledge Quarter Walking Tours, a new series of guided rambles around the Knowledge Quarter curated exclusively for Knowledge Quarter staff, friends and family. Led by experienced guides from Camden Tour Guides Association, each tour in the series opens up a new chapter in the area’s history, so you can learn more about where you work, live and grab your lunch.
Discover where comedy and tragedy are exploited, the location of a giant model of London and Bloomsbury’s new underground exhibition center. See where Paul Robeson and Ricky Gervais once studied and the site which houses a museum for the incurably curious. We end at a KQ partner celebrating 150 years since its inception as an Iron and Steel Institute.
Meet outside Goodge Street station, your guide will be wearing a badge for identification.
Organiser Knowledge Quarter
Organiser of Knowledge Quarter Walking Tour: The South of Euston Road
We are the focal point for one of the greatest knowledge clusters anywhere in the world, located in a small area around King’s Cross, the Euston Road and Bloomsbury.
Within a few hundred metres you can find knowledge resources ranging from the world’s earliest books and manuscripts to the latest fashion and creative designs and cutting-edge medical research.
As a gateway to knowledge of every kind, we open doors for visitors, students, researchers and people who live and work in this dynamic part of London.
As a space to interact and share ideas in close proximity there is nowhere else like it.
Individually, our members offer a dazzling array of knowledge resources. Our new partnership brings them all together for the first time.
Knowledge is fuel for the brain. Get everyone connected and the possibilities are endless.
KQ is where thinking joins up.
