FREE Ghost Signs of Bankside - History Walk

Meet us to socialise and we depart after 30-45 minutes. The walk lasts around 1h 15m and ends near Southwark station.

We’ll take a stroll through Bermondsey and Bankside, and learn about their fading painted signs. With both audio and historical records, you’ll hear their stories told, and those of the businesses they represent, including:

• Why the leather trade set up in Bermondsey;
• The creation of fake (or ‘faux’) ghost signs for film sets and to market property;
• A variety of novel production techniques
• The various impacts of the Second World War on the area’s signs.
