A walk through this delightful wedge-shaped quarter of Westminster, often nicknamed ‘Stuccoville’. We’ll see Thomas Cubitt’s visionary nineteenth century town planning, icing sugar stucco houses, hidden mews, gardens, churches and the homes of artists, politicians, and spies.
This 3km walk starts at Victoria Station and finishes at Tate Britain.
