SUMMARY:From Old St Pancras to New St Pancras: a historic walk
DESCRIPTION:We all know about St Pancras Station. \nBut what is the history of the area we call St Pancras? Was there just a church? \nWe will begin our walk inside St Pancras mainline station on the upper level. Take the stairs or the escalator up from the area with all the shops. Near the front of the station\, inside\, you’ll find a very big statue of two people embracing. It’s called….The Lovers statue. That’s where we’ll meet. \nFrom here we’ll start by exploring the area where the OLD St Pancras church can be found. By the last century it was known as Old Saint Pancras\, because a NEW Church – “New Saint Pancras” – had been built. \nOur walk will then take us through the area of SOMERS TOWN\, where we will explore the amazing examples of social housing and uncover the history of two other churches along the way. Finally we’ll arrive at the NEW St Pancras Church where our walk will end\, just opposite Euston Station.

SUMMARY:Gin Lane: Thieves and Thief-takers in the Night-Cellars of St Giles
DESCRIPTION:The Seven Dials area of St Giles is now pretty\, but in the 18th century it was notorious for poverty and crime. With no organised police force\, thieves\, highwaymen and fences bribed those hired to catch them\, meeting in low-down dives where they spoke a secret language called flash. Notoriously corrupt thief-taker Jonathan Wild captured popular thief Jack Sheppard more than once\, but Jack made dramatic escapes from prison aided by his sexworker-partner Edgworth Bess. \nWith gin selling at a penny a glass\, carousing was full-on in areas called\, by outsiders\, rookeries\, thieves’ kitchens\, the Holy Land (because of the Irish presence) and\, for Drury Lane’s red-light zone\, Little Sodom. A range of middle-class spies\, social investigators\, reporters and slum-tourists came to look and sometimes join in goings-on they found both appalling and titillating. John Gay portrayed Jack Sheppard and Jonathan Wild in the characters of Captain MacHeath and Mr Peachum in The Beggar’s Opera\, London’s favourite play throughout the 18th century.
