More information and booking

A thousand glorious years, from the Domesday Book to Hendon Aerodrome and beyond. On this walk, you will discover that Hendon remained largely rural until the 1920s. We'll see the lovely unspoilt medieval church and churchyard and some splendid early 20th-century buildings along The Burroughs. We'll hear about local connections with music hall, rock and roll, Arsenal football club — and Dracula! We'll finish in a delightful park. With Paul Baker, City of London guide.
