Re-nighting at Kings Cross

March 1^st 4-7pm Re-nighting at Kings Cross – meet at Kings Cross Plinth Start.

In order to design the spiral trail a group of walking-artists gathered at this spot, 10 years ago, to give birth to a spiral trail that walks you out from Central London, to spiral ten times, anticlockwise towards Gravesend.

Tonight we start our journey again, to Re-Walk the InspiralLondon Trail. Meeting here, at its origin in searching together for a centre for the City – its energy at Kings Cross Square.

For this evening walk you can join us for a short walk of 1.5 mile

By joining us at 4pm at the empty plinth in Kings Cross Square to launch and hear the Spiral Re-Walking story unfold. Be prepared to be surprised…

Or Meet us later at 5pm at the entrance of St Pancras New Church for a taste of Bloomsbury and Culpeper (approx. 1.5 miles)

Or meet at 6pm in Barnards Park as darkness descends at the entrance to Barnards Park Adventure Playground to explore other ways to be and see the city, together at night (c. 2 miles)

But for all inspiral newcomers we invite you to enjoy the full inspiral experience by walking together with InspiralLondon Director Charlie Fox in the early evening out from Kings Cross Square until Camden Town (this option to follow the full walk from 4-7pm of 5 miles)

For this long weekend of short and longer walking join Inspiral walking artists to re map the central core of the trail, from the empty plinth in Kings Cross Square, round central London, with a de-centred step, towards Finsbury Park.

These short linked walks offers a magical unexpected taster and opening to the majesty and scope of the trail – as we re-walk together through 2024-2025, in conversation with the ever changing cityscape of London. Please sign up on Eventbrite>

Part of Re-walking InspiralLondon Trail 2024.

In 2015 an intrepid group of walking artists finished mapping a new spiral trail, tracing a pathway through 30 London Boroughs. As we near the trails 10^th anniversary InspiralLondon invites new communities, individuals, and groups to re-discover their city through this unique inspiralling walk. During this year, 2024 and into 2025, we will re-walk, and re-tell, the story of this 300 mile trail as we re-spiral through London.Re-walking InspiralLondon is a walking adventure that offers Londoners opportunities to join short walks, walking workshops and to participate in exploring the unexpected landscapes opened up through the inspirallondon trail. Walking together so we can share in the wonder and variety of the Metropole, and to be more aware of ourselves and others, in celebrating all the diverse life that inhabits the city.
