"George Orwell's Islington" is a walk that takes in a number of locations with which Orwell would have been familiar, some of which changed beyond recognition during his lifetime, and others in the decades that followed.

Anyone familiar with the millennium film “Blackadder Back and Forth” will know that it had a way of jumping around the centuries, and we do a fair bit of that during this walk, from Angel to the New River and Canonbury.

Following the Napoleonic Wars a huge growth in population put a premium on building as London outgrew itself and began slowly to embrace surrounding towns and villages.

This walk explores an area of London that has spent over a thousand years in almost permanent evolution.
