King's Cross London Free Tour: No Tourist traps!

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?
