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

Starting with the purpose built new Islington Museum on St John Street, iconic architecture includes the latest of six incarnations of Saddler’s Wells Theatre. The much loved Finsbury Town Hall and the juxtaposition of old and new in the former Metropolitan Water Board are noted, as are some of the latest award-winning projects recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

But we do not forget the Fleet Ditch, the Rookeries, and all that went before us, when none of us would have dared set foot here.

The walk itself takes about 90 minutes, with additional time for questions, answers and debate over tea or coffee, or perhaps ale. Dates and times are by mutual arrangement.
