William Blake's four-line verse – The fields from Islington to Marybone etc – has been described as the perfect key to his system of thought. But visionary poet Aidan A D suggests that the Golden Quatrain is also key to decoding the secrets of Kings Cross St Pancras. In four guided walks through this ancient zone of London participants will discover the foundations of Blake's feminine City of God, Jerusalem. Along the various routes there will be discussion of the work of Yeats, Rimbaud, Hardy and Shelley, all of whose lives were profoundly affected by the place of power which is Kings Cross St Pancras.
