Shakespearean London from Curtain to Globe – Urban Hike

Walk length 7miles/11 km approx. Linear.

A fairly extensive guided walk across many of the locations associated with Shakepeare including the previous sites of a number of Elizabethan theatres from Southwark to the less explored area of Shoreditch.

The walk starts from Barbican and ends at Shoreditch, we will go for a short mid walk refreshment break at the George pub Southwark, maybe the oldest pub in London, dating back to the 17th century but with a pub on the site even earlier. We will also have a final refreshment stop close to Old Street/Liverpool Street after the end of the walk.
