SUMMARY:Regent's Canal\, a walking tour of its industrial past & sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:On this linear walk along the Regent’s Canal from Angel Station\, led by qualified Clerkenwell & Islington guide and conservation architect Minerva\, you will: \n• Discover how Victorian industrial wasteland became London’s most desirable waterside living – and what this transformation cost some communities \n• Learn why adaptive reuse of old buildings is the ultimate climate action – and which developers are getting sustainable regeneration right \n• Compare two contrasting estate regenerations: Packington’s success story vs Colville’s cautionary tale of poor workmanship and displaced tenants \n• Understand how the canal that once moved coal now moves gentrification – spotting genuine community benefit vs expensive window dressing \n• Explore mixed-use developments and warehouse conversions that either honor or erase the area’s working-class heritage \n” This tour was an incredible experience! The walk\, combined with Minerva’s explanations\, helped me rediscover the canal’s rich history and evolution. The tour highlights some of the key buildings along the canal\, but it’s presented in a way that’s engaging and accessible\, even for those who aren’t architecture enthusiasts. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore and learn more about this fascinating part of the city!” \n———————- \nThe walk lasts approximately 2 and a half hours along canal towpaths (with a 10 minute comfort break if the group requires it). Please wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing as there is no shelter along the route. Bring a water bottle.

SUMMARY:The Slow Horses Stroll
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to immerse yourself in the authentic London of Mick Herron’s Slow Horses novels and the acclaimed TV adaptation. \nThis walking tour takes you beyond the screen and pages\, directly into the streets that inspired the stories and characters you love. \nYour guides\, Caroline and Nigel\, will take you in the footsteps of your favourite bunch of MI5 misfits\, and give you a whole new perspective on the city. You’ll see the actual Slough House and other real-life locations where memorable encounters with the Slow Horses take place. And along the way\, you’ll discover the fascinating links between the series and London’s rich past — from the medieval heritage of its oldest parish church\, to the Victorian grandeur of Smithfield Market\, and the striking Brutalism of the Barbican. \nThe locations are brought to life with some of your guides’ favourite extracts from the novels and they’ll uncover the production secrets that transform this corner of the city into Lamb’s London. \nThe two-hour tour starts outside Barbican Underground Station (Hammersmith & City line) and ends near Old Street Station (Northern line). \nDisclaimer: this walking tour of Slow Horses locations is in no way affiliated with Mick Herron or his publishers\, See-Saw Films or Apple TV+.
