Hi all, cost, & info below..A healthy 2.5 or 5 mile option walk, incredible secret walk of the King's Cross and Pentonville area which is absolutely full of amazing delights, more than you could possibly imagine! Find out some brief local history along the way and meet new friends.

2.5 mile option
We will go to very rare areas of London you may have never seen. We will visit the beautiful St Pancras Church home of the famous Hardy Tree and also Frankenstein's Mary Shelley's mother's grave, where Mary consummated her relationship with Percy Shelly! Visit an incredible victorian coal yard that processed 8 million tonnes of coal a year, now turned into an open-air magnificent development in 2018 with vintage charm, see a square that incorporates a fountain consisting of 1,080 individual jets rising from the flush paved surface of a plaza, a beautiful walk along a stretch of the wonderful Regents Canal, see where some of the London Olympic rings are placed, visit a peaceful natural park, see an amazing Antique shop, a stunning victorian lock for canal boats, a magnificent canal boat now a bookshop! Giant gas holders turned into an open space and luxurious, elegant apartments. Atferward, for the 2.5 mile walkers, you will have to make your own easy way back to the station, where I will give directions for you for Caledonia Street back to the station.

5 mile option includes all of the above and also the grave of Joeseph Grimaldi, In 1947 Billy Smart, the Circus Owner, decided to create some extra publicity for a show by arranging for his clowns to attend Joseph Grimaldi?s grave. There they laid a wreath on the gravestone and decided to meet again the following year, a tradition that is kept alive to this day. See modernist housing designed by the Tecton architecture in 1954, also the site of where Lenin lived. The site of the New River reservoir from the 1600's which still provides fresh water today to London from Hertfordshire and we will hear the 'new water' 17th Century river still rushing under the ground from where we stand! And, wow factor! we will see in my opinion, one of the largest areas of untouched Georgian architecture in London from the immense bombing from World War 2, a truly astonishing delight to see so much beauty with every corner turned and just seeing rows and rows of stunning buildings and history. I hope you can make the additional 2.5 miles (within the 5 mile walk) to see this amazing sight.

It truly is an amazing walk.
