SUMMARY:Geoffrey Fletcher's Islington
DESCRIPTION:Discover some of the Islington locations that the artist Geoffrey Fletcher captured so lovingly in the 1960s and 1970s and learn about the area’s long and rich heritage. \n“Excellent walk – really interesting and a really great guide.” \nBest known for his 1962 book ‘The London That Nobody Knows’\, Geoffrey Fletcher’s sketches\, paintings\, books and weekly column in the Telegraph recorded the London he feared was vanishing in the decades after World War II. \nHe was especially fond of Islington\, with its markets\, Georgian terraces and varied Victorian architecture. Some of it has disappeared and the character of the area has changed. \nHowever\, Fletcher would still recognise many of the buildings and streets he drew or painted 60 years ago. \nThe walk will last approximately two hours. Please be prepared for all weathers! \nStart: outside Angel tube station\, Islington High Street\, N1 8XX \nFinish: Essex Road (close to Essex Road station) \n“Great walk\, Jonathan\, thanks!”\n“A fascinating walk through 60s and 70s Islington – or what remains!” \nTickets from Guided walks\, London blog | London On The Ground

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+.
