This short walk from the Greenwich Foot Tunnel entrance to the Royal Observatory traces some of the sites connected to what some have called the first act of international terrorism – the Greenwich Park Bomb Outrage of 1894 in which a young French Anarchist blew himself to pieces. Why did he do it? What was he trying to achieve and why do it in a deserted Greenwich Park in the depths of winter? What evidence of the incident now remains for us to consider and attempt to draw conclusions from? What was the explosion’s lasting impact, and does it have any modern relevance?

Architectural Appreciation: The Glory of London’s Mainline Railway Termini
This day-school celebrates the glories in architecture and design of London’s great railway termini. It studies the wonders of early Victorian design and engineering at Paddington and King’s Cross, the late Victorian Gothic of St Pancras, through to the post-war Modernism of Euston. All of the stations are unique, their initial design and build determined by the specific requirements of the traffic they were to serve, the latest technology and materials available at the time they were built, and the ideas and practice of their engineers and architects.
The course reviews the story of each of London’s 12 great termini over the last 150 years, and reveals how after a century of neglect and architectural abuse they have become treasured, better protected and sensitively enhanced in recent years.
