Highgate developed as a coaching stop on the way into London and its historic High Street and surrounding areas contain a beguiling mix of residential architecture across the centuries. Many of the buildings feature in literature and art or are associated with personalities, both historical and modern. Kate and Martin Webster will lead an exploration of the history (and herstory via Highgate’s very own pink plaques commemorating female personalities) and the rich tapestry of buildings and people that is Highgate village.

Meet at Riverstone, 1 Hampstead Lane, London N6 4RS
