'The London of Dickens & Shakespeare' Guided Walk

London Bridge Tube Station (map)

Selected By: Robert

Come along on Saturday 25th September at 1pm for a private guided walk on the London of Dickens & Shakespeare!

About the walk
A walk in the footprints of two of the greatest writers in English literature who lived around 200 years apart.

In their own way both were social commentators and chroniclers of their times. Thanks to them we have a very real feel of what it was like to live in those days.

We will visit some of the sites in London connected with them including the site of the original Globe Theatre, Nancy's steps, Bankside, The George Inn, the site of the Newgate Prison, St Paul's churchyard.....and many more


The walk starts at London Bridge tube station and finishes at St Paul's Cathedral. It lasts about 2 hours and costs £7 each.

We will be meeting at London Bridge tube station, inside the station, near the ticket barriers, underneath the 'Tooley Street' exit sign. Lookout for the 'Cultureseeker' sign.

Afterwards, we will head to a local pub or bar for a chat over a drink.

If you can't see us at the station please call.

Hope to see you there!

Regards

Robert

    It was great to be in London again and sharing a great time with Robert and the Cultureseekers (does that sound like a band?). I hadn't seem that part of London before. The pub after was good times. Cheers

    Great meetup. I did not learn anything new but it was great a refresher course as I forgot a few things from previous walks around the area.
