Visits and Study Days Visit extra fee Tuesday 27 October 2026 Ian Swankie KINGS CROSS TOUR A Walk in London’s King’s Cross Quarter. Ian Swankie is a charismatic speaker whom we are sure everyone will recall from when he recently delivered an inspirational and very engaging lecture on Battersea Power Station. We are delighted that he has agreed to give TASO Members a guided tour of London’s King’s Cross Quarter which will include both King’s Cross and St Pancras Stations and the King’s Cross Quarter to the north. This is a walking tour exploring the art and architecture of a rapidly changing area which has seen some of the most dramatic urban redevelopments anywhere in Europe. Until just over 10 years ago the stations were neglected, and the adjacent land was a scruffy wasteland full of disused railway buildings, gasworks, noisy industry, off- beat nightclubs and a notorious red-light district.
