Future Events

Few areas in London are so historic but also so modern as this particular area.  We will visit Old St. Pancras church, probably the oldest Christian site in the UK and Coal Drops Yard behind King’s Cross station to see the ‘kissing roofs’ designed by Heatherwick Studio which connect two former coal depots.

We will also visit the little-known Georgian Somers Town which boasts distinctive 1930s Art Deco flats and surviving 1860s tenements and walk through Camley Street Natural Park which runs next to the Regent’s Canal.

One of Andrew’s favourite areas is Agar Town and he will discuss whether it really was the slum which the Midland Railway claimed – otherwise it would have complicated the building of St. Pancras station.
