FEWI WALK – Bishops and Brothels with Gary Egerton

September 26 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
£17

Non members £19

Meet at Liverpool Street station for a short underground journey to St Paul’s where we will hear about the history of the cathedral. Then we will cross the Millennium Bridge to the south bank of the Thames. Here we will learn that the area of Southwark was outside the jurisdiction of the City of London and therefore the home of the wild side of life, brothels, theatres, prostitution, etc. Passing the Globe, the famous Clink Prison, Drake’s Golden Hind and the Bishop of Winchester’s Palace – these areas will bring to life what is was like to live here in bygone days. The walk will finish in the area of the world famous Borough Market.

Walkers to make their own way to Liverpool Street Station by 9.50am to then go and meet the guide, Gary Egerton near the indoor Kindertransport statue. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and comfortable walking shoes.

Non members welcome.

If this event is sold out, please add your name to the Waiting List in case of cancellations or additional dates.
