Walk the Central line – above ground, above! – with Mark Mason, author of ‘Walk the Lines: the London Underground – Overground’. Along the way you’ll learn loads of fascinating historical tidbits, including what made Oliver Cromwell’s trial at the Old Bailey so unusual, what happened when Robert Maxwell tried to land his helicopter at Holborn Circus, and where Christopher Wren hid two golden pineapples – in plain view (they’re still there). We called Mason ‘one of our heroes’ on the Time Out blog. Believe us: the guy knows his stuff.
Walk starts outside Bank tube station (exit three, near the statue of Wellington), and ends outside Chancery Lane tube .
