King's Cross tube station, London
Guided by Rachel
This walk is part of the Behind the Termini series of walks created and guided by stellar Blue Badge Guide, Rachel.
What you see on the tin – Behind the Termini: All Change at King's Cross – is exactly what the walk serves up.
Some daisy chain. Platform 9 3/4. The Armadillo. The Lighthouse. That royal cross. The fever hospital. The Crick Institute (yes, time to get serious). The British Library (really serious). 28 million pints of beer (time to chill). Amber waves of granary. A giant pair of spectacles.
In the Summer 2017 London Walks programme – which kicks in on May 1 and runs through October 31 – the Behind the Termini: All Change at King's Cross Tour takes place at xxx on xxxx. Meet Rachel by the taxi rank outside the King's Cross Tube and King's Cross Railway Station complex.

If you can't make one of the regularly scheduled, just-turn-up, public Behind the Termini Tours do think about booking one as a private tour. If you go private you can have the Behind the Termini – All Change at King's Cross tour – or any other London Walk – on a day and at a time that suits your convenience. We'll tailor it to your requirements. And – always with private London Walks and tours – we go to great lengths to make sure the guide-walker(s) "fit" is well-nigh perfect. Ring Fiona or Noel or Mary on 020 7624 3978 or email us at [email protected] and we'll set it up and make it happen for you. A private London Walk – they're good value for an individual or couple and sensational value for a group – makes an ideal group or educational or birthday party or office (team-building) or club outing. Or indeed a fab present – be it a birthday or anniversary or get-to-know-your-new neighbourhood gift or Christmas present or whatever. Merchandise schmerchandise (gift wrapped or not) – but giving someone an experience, now that's special. Memories make us rich.
It all comes down to the guiding. If you're not assessing you're guessing – buying a pig in a poke.
"Nah, don't need it, got it all here," you say. Er, roaming charges? Er, dead battery? Er, reading your phone in the bathtub and you drop it? [Smelling salts interval: sick as a parrot. ashen-faced.] Er, read the famous white leaflet in the bathtub and you drop it what do you do? Er, you dry it out. Anyway, maybe worth making a mental note that you can always pick up the famous white London Walks leaflet at the Cafe in the Crypt at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the old church in Trafalgfar Square. They're on the Information Table there, right by the box office. And indeed they also display them on the shop counter, right by the cash register. And it's win-win because the Cafe in the Crypt is one of the town's delights. Should be on everybody's London itinerary.
