Art in everyday life were the words of Gilbert Bayes, the artist who created fairy tales on walls, ships, birds nursery rhymes and saints' stories on drying posts on washing, for St Pancras Housing in the 1930s.

Somers Town has been called the 'fairy tale district' - join us for a live virtual tour from street view, birds' eye view and film around the history of this art - finials and lunettes.

Find out the folk tales... Hans Christian Anderson,the Brothers Grimm, and saints stories St Nicholas, St Anthony...

Led by experienced Guide Steve McCarthy of Hidden London Walks.co.uk, with local insights from people who live here via the History Club, we co-present a a live tour and a visual feast.

We appreciate donations to contribute to our fund to campaign to replace the sadly damaged and missing finals.

Three are to be replaced - the broken St Antony of Padua statuette and 2 finials; and further to that, to replace all missing finials to restore this district to its intended 'art in everyday life'!

For why shouldn't ordinary people have art?
