  • Location: Alexandra Palace Station, Station Rd London N22 7ST
  • Latest Activity: Mar 6

Join qualified tour guide Ellika for this walk around the streets of Bounds Green, exploring how the dramatic changes to work, population and transport of the 19th and 20th centuries led to the development of this quintessential Edwardian suburb . Reflect on how our lives today are impacted by the influence of the Edwardian infrastructure and how our lives have diverged.

Along the way you will discover some of the neighbourhood's best kept secrets such as the location of the velodrome which saw the first international women's cycle race, a cold-war nuclear bunker and an outwardly respectable cobbler who had a thriving under the counter alternative business.

The tour is aimed at both those familiar and unfamiliar with the area

Tickets cost £10 bookable in advance via EventBrite
