Giant gas holders turned into an open space and luxurious, elegant apartments. 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 Hardy Tree and also Frankenstein's Mary Shelley's mother's grave, where Mary consummated her relationship with Percy Shelly! Afterward, 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 2.5 mile option 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.
