SUMMARY:De Beauvoir Town - royal hunting ground to 19C residential estate
DESCRIPTION:De Beauvoir lies in today’s London Borough of Hackney and is still sometimes called ‘Kingsland’ because Henry VIII hunted here. It is distinct from but nestled up close to Dalston\, London Fields\, the Regent’s Canal\, Shoreditch\, south east Islington and Mildmay. It is also known locally as ‘the jam between the Islington and Hackney sandwich’! \n\n\n\nThis walk explores the origins of the area\, including a grand manor house from the 1600s which eventually became a ‘mad house’\, then legal wrangles leading to extensive 19C residential development of pretty streets and a stunning square. We will also hear of lost churches\, a canal basin with wharves that supplied much of the building material for today’s houses\, a factory powered by tall windmills\, the significance of horse stabling and much more. \n\n\n\nNumbers are limited\, so please pre-book only on Eventbrite\, and be aware that Covid-related requirements may still change at short notice.  \n\n\n\nThe walk will start at Haggerston Station\, last 2 – 2 1/4 hours and end near the canal and Southgate Road.

SUMMARY:Hackney Downs
DESCRIPTION:A ‘Walk Hackney’ event  \n\n\n\nBounded betwixt Clapton\, Dalston and Shacklewell\, Hackney Downs\, the highest piece of open ground within 4 miles of central London\, has\, like other parts of Hackney\, its own history to tell.

Led by Sean Gubbins of Walk Hackney. \n\n\n\nMore details here.

SUMMARY:Historic Hoxton
DESCRIPTION:Hoxton 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\nNumbers are limited\, so please pre-book only on Eventbrite\, and be aware that Covid-related requirements may still change at short notice. There is also a second date for this walk\, on Wednesday 27th April and on the same booking link. \n\n\n\nThe walk will start at Hoxton Station\, last 2 – 2 1/4 hours and end in Hoxton Street.
