- **Event Description**: The area around KX station is rich in faded painted lettering and brilliant signs that still advertise products and services of the pastAbout this EventOn this tour we will be investigating ghosted or faded signs of the past, these days commonly referred to as 'ghostsigns' – outdated advertisements or company branding that can still be seen above today's streets.These hand-painted advertisements were applied directly onto the walls by specialist artisans, commissioned either by well-known companies to sell their branded products or by local businesses keen to attract passing trade. The Kings Cross area, one of London's major transport hubs, used to be slathered with this type of signage.We'll be looking at some of the marvellous examples that remain as well as some well-preserved, bright and shiny shop fascias that not only show the Victorian or Edwardian companies that used to trade there, but also the company that manufactured the signs.Hear about the fascinating businesses, brands and people behind the signs – innovative inventions, bogus potions and bygone brands, as well as big names and products that are still going strong today.......................................This walk lasts approx two hours, starting and finishing near Kings Cross station.The exact meeting point will be clearly described on your ticket sent via email after purchase – see more in the FAQs below......................................Customer feedback: "Your knowledge is amazing and I love your jolly style" / "I am now going to be staring at brick walls looking for clues! LOL!!" / "I loved this walk. It was even better than I had expected. I knew of the sign in the picture on Eventbrite but I hadn't noticed most of the others. Thanks for opening my eyes Jane"/ "I love how you point out all the little quirks and make it so much more interesting than other academic-style guides. And you make it fun too. Thanks" / "...so engaging, thanks to your delivery style and obvious thirst for knowledge" / More feedback hereOther ghostsigns walks and talks available – please check my listings or see www.janeslondonwalks.comMy guiding style is inclusive, open and friendly.
