NEW! Nooks and Crannies of London- walking tour with Blue Badge guide Laurence
Meet Rosewood Hotel 252 High Holborn, WC1 @11-11.15am - closest tube station Holborn
Fee £10
Was Cromwell's exhumed body dumped in a square in Holborn? What was Leather Lane? Why is Bleeding Heart Yard so called? Or Wine Office Court? Or Hanging Sword Alley? Where did Doctor Johnson live? What was the Bridewell? Why is there a tree inside a pub?
Come with me to find out and long the way we also meet Charles Dickens - don't we always?! -, Sweeney Todd, Lord Byron, Christopher Hatton and Clement Freud among others......
London is full of squares and alleys and little pockets of unexplored history and quirkiness and here we will discover some of them.
A great walk around the City - a city you may not have realised existed...
