Discover Illinois in London

Londoners passing through King's Cross St Pancras station will be treated to a whistlestop taster tour of the best of the US state of Illinois. A Chicago blues band will provide the soundtrack while  President Lincoln (well, a lookalike) encourages visitors to try on period costumes. You can also help to paint a mural of the Chicago skyline, visit a tranquil Japanese garden inspired by the superb one in Rockford, Illinois, enjoy a chair massage or have your photo taken behind the wheel on Route 66.
