Transporting London: First, Last And Forgotten

In this walk we chart the birth of public transport, from what was available before, the reasons for it's establishment and the consequences of its arrival and what it means for London of the future.

On the walk we will be visiting many sites related to transport in London, we will cover the early horse buses, the rise and fall of the humble waterman, the birth by fire of the Underground as it exploded through London and the key characters and organisations involved in the development of public transport in London.

Other highlights include:

Disused Underground stations
Proposed Underground stations
The Mail Rail
The world's second oldest tube
Look down a Crossrail borehole
Disasters, crypts, lakes, meat and execution
Learn more about varied history of transport and the role it played in the City

This walk does not include any internal visits to any Underground station, tunnel or other TfL (Transport for London) related establishment, we keep our feet firmly above ground during this walk.
