Herstorical Tours immersive walks

London may be one of the most open and liberal cities in the world now, but did you know that our capital has a long, dark history of witchcraft and persecution?

On this immersive theatre walking tour you will discover just that as your guide unveils to you the dark, devilish and downright unjust history of witchcraft in London.

You will meet some of the forgotten women who have been branded and persecuted as witches throughout the ages in our city - from medieval healers and Elizabethan devil-worshippers to pagan priestesses and wartime mediums. They’ve come back, and they want their stories to be heard…
Explore the places that these 'witches' were associated with, and some of the locations that were host to occult activity, including a pagan temple, right in the heart of the city!

This journey promises to be spooky and moving with a little bit of black humour thrown in for good measure.
So are you ready to be bewitched by London ?

Tour begins outside Farringdon tube Station and ends at St Pauls Cathedral.
Run time: approx 2 hours.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO DO THIS VALENTINES TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE SACCHARINE STUFF...? THEN LOOK NO FURTHER!

Hogarth, Harlots, Moll Flanders... you've seen the paintings, watched the TV shows and read the books... now visit the places that London's REAL strumpets called home.

Allow your guide, 'The Baroness' to transport you back to the London of three hundred years ago and into the steamy underworld of the Georgian sex worker. Meet the women that 'made it', and those that ended up in the gutter; the high class courtesans and the gin-addled street walkers; the business-savvy Brothel Madams and the corrupted country girls. Hear the stories of the women that weren't often given a voice - in a trade that existed to serve men and the patriarchy. What was it really like for them, and have we learned the lessons of the past?

Back by popular demand, Eighteenth Century London's sordid, saucy, and often brutal sex industry is dramatically and comically brought to life in this immersive, theatrical experience for Valentines. What better way to celebrate the season of 'love' than with a wander with the "connoisseurs"

And when your thirst for lewd women, saucy stories and harrowing histories has been well and truly quenched, we'll finish the experience at a tavern that takes it's name from one of the most notorious courtesans of all time - The Nell Gwynne!

Tour starts at Covent Garden tube station and ends at Nell Gwynne Tavern. Run time: approximately 2 hours. Small groups. Fancy dress, lovers and 'single ladies' all warmly welcomed...;-
