An unsung hero for most of history, the theoretical mathematician, Alan Turing, was both a timid and eccentric pioneer, that went on to save millions of lives during the Second World War. Using hard work, unmistakable imagination and rigour, Turing went on to break the infamous Enigma code during his days at Bletchley Park, but his story did not begin there. Born in Maida Vale, it is no wonder that Turing’s genius was nurtured in such a fascinating area. As you pay homage to the late hero, explore the winding streets, stroll through bespeckled canals, and indulge in the flourishing beauty that Maida Vale has to offer.
