WALK | Up and Down the City Road

When it was built City Road was described as the finest road in all England. It has fallen out of favour since then.  There are innovative hospitals, headquarters of household names and some inventions that changed the world.


Join Rob Smith for this two hour walk which will look at some of the roads history and why it ended up in a nursery rhyme.
