A watery wander around King’s Cross and St. Pancras

Event Series Event Series (See All)

October 16 @ 11:00 am 1:15 pm

An almost-circular walk around King’s Cross and St. Pancras stations and the extraordinary, vibrant redevelopment of what was a semi-derelict wasteland of railway lands. The area originally had a plentiful supply of water from the now-hidden River Fleet and associated lost springs and wells, then the man-made Regent’s Canal supplied more water from the early 1800s.
This walk explores how all things watery have influenced the development of the area, from lost pleasure gardens and an ancient church by a riverbank, to canal locks, steam engines and gas storage holders, then today’s inspiring water features and a tranquil nature reserve.

This walk starts outside King’s Cross Station, lasts 2 – 2 1/4 hours and ends near St. Pancras Station. Pre-book only via Eventbrite, click here to choose your date.
