Kings Cross Ghostsigns – Boots, Breakfast, Bates and Weights

The streets in Islington’s most western area, adjacent to Kings Cross station, used to be slathered in advertising. On this tour we look at some of the examples that are still visible, whether painted onto walls or as carved panels, hinting at a world before back-lit perspex and interactive screens.

See a cross section of old signage as you learn about the businesses, brands and people behind the signs for innovative inventions and bogus potions, as well as big names and products that are still available today.
