The Secret History of London’s Railway Stations

from London Walks · host London Walks

London runs on rails – and we've got a new tour that explores London's railway stations. Distinguished railway historian Christian Wolmar and elite London guide Sam Jacobs take us on an all-day journey through the city’s iron arteries: from Shoreditch to Paddington, from Victorian grandeur to modern revival. Part history, part adventure, it’s London seen through its railway termini – the people, the power, the ambition, and the steam that made the city move.
