  • Historic Character Map of Holborn, London
    HOLBORN: Walking Tour HOLBORN: This short 1km tour investigates the inherited character of an area of Holborn in London. It highlights elements, both new and old, that help create a special sense of place. Explore the streets, buildings and spaces to understand the story of how and why the area’s character has developed the way it has. In turn, you can look to the area's future, considering how modern developments are responding to their historic surroundings. The different approaches that have taken is useful for thinking about issues of design in context, planning and regeneration. You can navigate the tour by following the map and the key points along it. Short descriptions with images are provided for each. Please note Gray’s Inn Court is a private space and parts have restricted opening hours. INTRODUCTION Holborn is an intriguing and ancient place, called home by some of London’s most famous residents, including the author Charles Dickens. Some of the earliest evidence for human activity in the city was found here, in 1679, when a 350,000 year old hand axe was discovered on Gray’s Inn Road. It’s along this street, at the junction of Baldwin’s Gardens that the tour begins. A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY! The tour follows a number of busy streets in Holborn, and special care should be taken when crossing them. Many view points along the tour are taken from the carriageways themselves and each point does not necessarily present a safe place to stop. As such, find a safe place to pause before continuing with the tour.
