Waterloo by Maplight

Evening walk with old maps led by Ken Titmuss. Look beyond the bridge and round the most perplexing railway station in London that once upon a time had a platform for the dead.

Follow a trail of topographical street names, unremarkable buildings with remarkable stories and call up the memory of local worthies including Emma Cons, John Rennie and the Roupell family scandal.

In the last 60 years the riverside wharves have been transformed into the capital's cultural quarter, yet the other three quarters of this quintessentially London neighbourhood has a tale or two to tell.
