Steve is pleased to present a new walk for Thursday
afternoons, commencing on Thursday 24th May, and then each
Thursday after that. This walk starts from the Angel tube
station at 1.30pm and follows the 'New River' walk through
the delightful Canonbury area. The New River was actually a
17th Century grand civil engineering project to bring much
needed water from Hertfordshire to London. We will walk the
most picturesque sections of what is now a beautiful river park
in Islington, and learn about the history of the area as we go.
This walk starts at the Angel tube station at 1.30pm every
Thursday from 24th May onwards and finishes at 3.30pm, back
at the Angel.
Now running every Friday morning, we are pleased to
announce a new walk which covers the amazing story of the
history of tea in London.
Called the 'Story of Tea in the City', this walk shows you the
places where tea was first sampled, auctioned and enjoyed in
London, and explains how the British taste for tea developed
over the last 350 years.
The 'Story of Tea in the City' walk starts at 11.30am every
Friday at the giant sundial above Tower Hill tube station. The
walk finishes back at Tower Hill at 12.45pm and costs just £5
per person.
