In an area that offers so much to see and do it’s easy to overlook some of its most intriguing features. This walk from Waterloo to Blackfriars Bridge highlights hidden gems; some tucked away and others hiding in plain sight. We explore new developments alongside remnants of its industrial past; see monuments and mosaics; learn about a former warehouse that became a military hospital, a cooperative housing development that thwarted the developers and finish in an area once famed for hat-making.
