Jen Pedlar 'Queen of Archway' and dear friend of map gift shop is back leading a series of guided walks titled 'Archway my Way' and the next walk is on Saturday 25th November at 1pm tickets available here.
Archway's regeneration is nearly complete; its brutalist tower has been clad and turned into flats, the controversial gyratory system has finally gone and the amazing new space (and as yet un-named) space has been created.
On this walk you will, see the place where Dick Whittington famously turned again. Learn why a bridge was built where there should have been a tunnel. Hear why priests disguised themselves to buy a pub. Stand on a point that's at the same level as the top of the dome of St Paul's & get fabulous panoramic views from some of the highest points in London.
And what's more..... if you fancy a bit of retail therapy, this is possibly the only guided walk that exits through the gift shop!
This circular walk starts at Archway tube station (meet in the ticket hall) and lasts about two hours - you can book tickets through Eventbrite! We'll post more information about future dates soon!
