SUMMARY:‘Beating the Bounds’ from King’s Cross to Farringdon
DESCRIPTION:A historic walk winding either side of the border between Camden and Islington boroughs – also the route of the now-buried River Fleet \n\n\n\n‘Beating the Bounds’ around the borders between parishes\, land ownerships and similar is an ancient tradition\, where the boundary was literally paced out and marked with stones each year. This walk traces today’s border between Camden and Islington\, with detours to explore nearby signs of previous boundaries of parishes\, vestries\, water conduits and historic landowners. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, we’ll see varied architecture from pretty Georgian and Victorian terraces to old burial grounds\, narrow passages that were once slums and restored industrial buildings; see if we can spot historic boundary markers; meet mediaeval monks\, Tudor and Victorian philanthropists\, a dynasty of 19C architects and builders; and hear of lost wells and pleasure gardens.  \n\n\n\nPre-booking essential – please click here.

SUMMARY:Historic Holborn
DESCRIPTION:Explore the hidden histories either side of busy High Holborn – Hatton Garden\, Leather Lane\, inns of law and chancery and ancient churches. \n\n\n\nHigh Holborn was originally a westward path up from a crossing over the River Fleet\, leading through green fields and connecting the mediaeval City to Westminster. The areas to either side featured bishop’s palaces\, the first church of the Knights Templar\, legal inns and ancient markets. Later\, smart residential enclaves developed\, then coaching inns\, industry\, jewellery and diamond trades thrived\, followed by extreme poverty and slums\, contrasted with Victorian temples of commerce. \n\n\n\nMore recent rejuvenation now sits by side by side with much of the old fabric of the area\, including several Grade I listed buildings. We explore them all on this wander through the alleyways and green spaces at the south-east boundary of today’s Camden borough. \n\n\n\nPre-booking essential – please click here.
