Overview
If you have already seen Big Ben, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, etc, then this tour is an amazing opportunity to explore London beyond tourist traps!
King's Cross is a small area, but it's packed with all sorts of interesting details. It has everything from a small floating bookstore to the most beautiful and grandiose hotel, and from the most ancient church in England to the most modern tech cluster.
Below are just some of the many stories and places that we will cover during the tour:
- How has a former industrial area undergone a massive redevelopment and turned into the hottest area of London?
- Why is there a lighthouse near King's Cross?
- How King's Cross was almost turned into an airport?
- British Rail's UFO
- Why was a giant heap of dirt sold to Russia 200 years ago?
- How did a duck statue (or lack of it) cause a protest?
- An ancient cemetery where The Beatles hung out in 1968
I hope to see you at the tour!
