If you fancy learning a bit of food history in the nearby streets around Angel or brushing up on Cally or KX station trivia, there are a few walks on in the next three months.
Rob Smith of Footprints of London is running a historical gastronomic tour called Islington: London’s Larder on 15 January and 26 February. It does what it says on the tin, once upon a time Islington was an important centre of meat and milk in the capital. A word of warning: the subject matter will make you feel tortuously hungry by the end of the walk. Maybe that was just me.
Up The Cally is a two-hour exploration of either side of Caledonian Road on 5 February, and All Change at King’s Cross covers the history and future for the station on 25 March.
