Park to Park Sunday walk – Kings Cross Hinterland

Lewis Cubitt Park has a steel sculpture by Eva Rothschild

A stimulating walk connecting several parks and public gardens … Join London Park to Park as we explore the new old neighbourhoods immediately north of Kings Cross and Saint Pancras stations. Over the last few years there has been much development, with designer flats, stores and restaurants, and some lovely open spaces and plantings.

There have been many transformations of that area over historic time, and many interventions some of which have been socially motivated and idealistic, some purely for profit, which we shall see on this walk around the canal and the railway, with the most recent changes arising from connection of St Pancras to the European continent and the clearing and re-purposing of old industrial infrastructure.

lonning, lonnin

Cumbrian dialect term for ‘lane’ – but a quite specific lane. Lonnings are usually about half a mile long, low level and often with a farm at the end. Many have specific names known only to the local villagers. Hence, Bluebottle Lonning, Lovers Lonning, Fat Lonning, Thin Lonning, Squeezy Gut Lonning or Dynamite Lonning. In the north-east the spelling is lonnin and seems to refer more to an alley than a country lane. The Scottish equivalent is ‘loan’.
