Join me for a tour of the burial grounds on the western edge of the City of London, taking in 2,000 years of history and providing a new perspective on some of the City’s most familiar landmarks.
This tour will visit the burial places of both outcasts and heroes, and explore historic graveyards both cherished and forgotten. These places are rich in stories and characters – we will meet prophets and plague victims, prisoners and preachers. Along the way we will learn about Roman funerals, the Jews of medieval London, the city’s first operating theatre, and how the bones of London’s dead have taught us so much about how Londoners of the past have lived and died. We’ll also visit one of the city’s most notorious prisons, the burial place of a queen whose life wouldn’t have been out of place in Game of Thrones, and one of the City’s most moving memorials.
If you would like to book this walk for a private group (for example, a work event, community group outing, or for a family day out) please get in touch with me directly for availability and rates.
