SUMMARY:A watery wander around King's Cross and St. Pancras
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nThis walk starts outside King’s Cross Station\, lasts 2 – 2 1/4 hours and ends near St. Pancras Station.

SUMMARY:A watery wander around the Angel Islington
DESCRIPTION:A circular walk from Angel tube\, exploring the influences of water sources. Islington and Clerkenwell developed around a hilly area with an abundance of water from natural springs\, wells and the River Fleet\, all now more or less hidden. The New River – an astonishing early 17C waterworks scheme with engineering and reservoirs – and the early 19C manmade Regent’s Canal and basins followed. Meanwhile\, some of the springs had been turned into risqué pleasure gardens and a famous theatre\, then the residential boom of Georgian and Victorian squares and streets sprung up. \n\n\n\nThis walk traces all things watery\, tells of an eccentric estate owner\, an evangelical Countess and a lost cricket ground. \n\n\n\nThe walk lasts 2 to 2 1/4 hours\, starts at the Angel station and ends in a historic market near the start. \n\n\n\nPre-book only via Eventbrite here
