Details

Direct links to Marylebone Station from the underground.

Please join everyone for a stunning springtime 4.7 mile beautiful walk through Lisson Grove, Regents canal and park.

Some amazing highlights are the Regents Canal and the fine illustrious John Nash mansions.
We start our walk in the manor of Lileston now known as Lisson Grove, an area mentioned in the Doomsday book!
See the street where the birth of tabloid journalism began involving a young girl whose story has birthed a famous Hollywood film and thousands of stage productions .
Then we go up to where Agatha Christie lived and discuss her disappearance in …… whilst living here in …….. The woman who strove for education for women. We then dip down into Regents canal area passing the enchanting house barges and marvelling at the large white mansions. Into Regents park we see the heavily guarded American Embassy which used to be the home of the heir to Woolworths. Past Britain’s first Mosque and into the notorious Bakers Street.
The glamour and the scandal sit side by side with inhabitants such as George Eliot to the love nest of our former Prime Minster’s wife and her lesbian lover.
Music lovers will wonder at the studios that gave us I will survive by Gloria Gaynor, All cried out by Alison Moyet and Cruel Summer by Bananarama!
