real Camelot once existed at the centre of Enfield Chase, the Royal Hunting Ground of the Plantagenet Kings.

Learn about the Gods and Goddesses who were worshipped here including Isis and Father Thames, the spirt of the Thames River itself. The tour ends outside The British Museum, offering you a chance to explore the crystal skull, Goddess statues and esoteric tools housed inside (admission is free).

It wasn't until after the World War Two that the potential of the ley line as a repository for all things mystical really started to take hold. I do love tales of occult London and I came across a wonderful conspiracy theory while reading London Walking: A Handbook for Survival by Simon Pope.

This ‘cult of the head’ lasted for millennia and its importance was still felt with the decapitation of John the Baptist, whose head was venerated by the Knights Templar. Tan jones eschewed the laboriously intricate mappings of earlier ley line-hunters, and instead followed their instinct. A number of subsequent kings continued the tradition, and like the London stone, it was said that so long as the remains were left undisturbed, London would remain safe. We visited,amongst other places the site of Uffington horse, Uffington castle (iron age hill fort), the modified dragon hill and the wonderful natural amphitheatre in which this is situated.The ancients were obsessed with arranging sacred sites in either right-angle, isosceles or equilateral triangles, one reason being that the shape is a representation of the sacred trinity, the most powerful creative force of the universe. Misled by a fixed and dogmatic set of ideas, however, they passed this by to focus on an attempted proof of beliefs which were ultimately based on faith alone. And, perhaps most importantly, London's Ley Lines offers ideas on how to do a ley pilgrimage, because ley lines are better understood through experience than through reading even the best book on the subject.

It is a theory that has long held interest for tan jones: "I've been interested in ley lines for years," they say. Looking back on the book's reception in 2000, Williamson noted that "archaeologists weren't particularly interested, and ley-line people were hostile". Along the journey, the artist responded to what they saw with poetry, storytelling but most of all, song. Hutton suggested that some of the enthusiasm formerly directed toward leys was instead directed toward archaeo-astronomy.

John thinks he has found Ley Lines from Camberwell Road to St Pauls, and from Walworth Road to St Giles. Thus the ancient wisdom at the basis of leys is encoded within the land for future generations to discover anew, if they possess the vision. Chris Street sees ancient energy possibly a Neolithic structure, he even sees the energy of an entombed man!

I must admit that the book has inspired me to “get out into the real world” to try walking a London ley myself.

Thom lent the idea of leys some support; in 1971 he stated the view that Neolithic British engineers would have been capable of surveying a straight line between two points that were otherwise not visible from each other.
