Daniel took us on a very interesting tour of the area around King’s Cross. We saw the wonderful recent
modernisation but learned so much about how the history and geography of the area led to these changes. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

A fascinating walk and talk. The guide was clued up on the history as well as the current usage of the buildings we walked past. She spoke from knowledge and her own experience of belonging to, for example, The British Library.
