90 minutes
This is a guided walk of contrasts; from the old to the right now. King's Cross is an area which is still a work in progress.
We meet at Euston before embarking on a 90 minute tour exploring the hidden histories of the area of King's Cross including an iconic hotel, station and a library. Ian will lead you through Georgian side streets and beautiful crescent, sharing stories of literary greats such as Charles Dickens and Poet Laureate John Betjeman among others.
June (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have done a few of these tours and they are always well organised and shine a light on different and often hidden parts of the city. Ian is a great tour guide with an encyclopedic knowledge and he made the tour of Kings Cross interesting and fun."
Amy (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"What a fantastic experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable and opened our eyes to things we'd walked past many times. You don't have to be a tourist to benefit from one of these walks!"
Anne (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This is an interesting, informative walk around the Euston/Kings Cross area. I learned a lot even though I had worked in the area for 30 years. 7 or 8 main information stops, quite a short walk, took just over 90 mins. The leader Ian knows his stuff, easy to hear him despite the Central London ‘noise!'
Would recommend if you want to know more about this area/London, both past and present."
