Hi! My name is George and London has been my adopted city for more than 10 years. I really like to wonder around and found out that there are a lot of lesser known places which are more interesting than Big Ben, Buckingham Palace or Tower of London. Now I want to share it with more people!

Tour description
Until recently, King's Cross would have been perhaps the last place in London for a walking tour. But things have changed dramatically! King's Cross might be the best single location in London to delve into industrial history, transportation history, historic preservation, urban regeneration, and many other topics.
Below are just some of the many stories that I will cover during the tour:
- Why is there a lighthouse near King's Cross?
- Surprising aviation history of King's Cross
- British Rail's UFO
- Why a giant heap of dirt was sold to Russia 200 years ago?
- How did a duck (or lack of it) cause a protest?
- Why was one of the most beautiful hotels in London abandoned and almost demolished?
