Blackheath Society Walk & Talk: St Pancras and Somertown

Enjoy a well informed walk led by member Paul Wright around the interesting and historic area of St Pancras and Somestown.
About this Event

Paul Wright will conduct a walk around the St Pancras area in which he will discuss the history of the station and its landmark hotel, the British Library and a pioneering inter-war housing development in which public art, which is still on display, was deemed as important as the accommodation. The walk will then take in St Pancras old church and its churchyard, the resting place of a number of historic figures and finish with a short walk along the Regents Canal where it skirts the new Kings Cross development.

Meet outside the Entrance to the Francis Crick Institute, 1 Midland Road, NW1 1AT at 10.30 am

Travel tip: Take a Thames Link train from London Bridge to St Pancras and the exit is directly opposite The Crick.

The walk is for Blackheath Society Members only. If you are not a member and would like to join, please visit www.blackheath.org
