SUMMARY:Historic Hoxton
DESCRIPTION:Apologies\, cancelled\, plan to reschedule. \n\n\n\nHoxton and Shoreditch today are often known as fashionable parts of east London\, areas to eat out in and go clubbing. It’s also an area of astonishing contrasts from post war estates and a park reclaimed from bombed houses\, through to surviving elegant 18C houses\, almshouses\, a radical 19C reforming local authority and road layouts dating back to the Romans. \n\n\n\nThe Gunpowder Plot was unmasked here in 1605\, an enterprising gardener successfully created the first plant hybrids in 1729\, and the first woman Mayor of Shoreditch was elected in 1936. \n\n\n\nThis walk is just one of the many events in the 3rd Hackney History Festival taking place across the borough this May. More information and booking link for this walk is here.

SUMMARY:Islington Health and History walk: Rosemary Gardens N1
DESCRIPTION:This is one of a series of free walks developed by Islington Guided Walks for Islington Council. These walks are the perfect chance to stroll at a gentle pace and appreciate some of Islington’s finest green spaces\, while hearing about fascinating and inspiring local history. They are therefore shorter and slower than many of my walks and hopefully just as enjoyable in a different way! \n\n\n\nThis gentle walk explores leafy Rosemary Gardens and the surrounding streets and buildings. We will stroll past grassy and wilder woodland areas\, see planting to encourage wildlife\, a tree that grows beans and a football training pitch opened by Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger! \n\n\n\nCenturies ago\, archery was a popular sport here\, then the local inn’s pleasure gardens and country air attracted visitors from the City until a lead factory was built on the site. We will also learn more about the intriguing local history\, including the nearby canal\, houses and warehouses. \n\n\n\nMore details and reservations for this and monthly walks in other Islington green spaces here. These walks are generously funded by Islington Council and are free to attend\, but please do reserve in advance as they are very popular.

SUMMARY:Local London Guiding Day
DESCRIPTION:Free walks from six local guiding associations running 10am to the last start at 4pm on Saturday 10th October. Qualified guides from Clerkenwell & Islington\, Hackney\, Camden\, Lambeth\, Westminster and City of London are delighted to offer 1 hour’ ‘taster’ routes in their areas throughout the day. This year\, we are exploring the history around Old Street\, Hoxton\, King’s Cross\, Waterloo\, Pimlico and mediaeval traces in the City. \n\n\n\nThe theme of all walks this year is ‘Back to the Future’\, so you’ll  hear how ancient traces have shaped London over the centuries and indeed how the past continues to influence future plans. I’ll be with the Islington Guides in the afternoon\, and looking in on the Hackney Guides first thing\, but do browse the website\, see what takes your fancy and go on as many as you can\, it’s a great day out! \n\n\n\nCheck out the details and exact meeting places here: https://llgd.org.uk
