Shakespeare in London stroll

Details

To celebrate the publication of Vol 4 I thought I would lead a walk that isn't in any of the books! This will explore the London that Shakespeare knew best, from Shoreditch, through the heart of the old city still bounded by ancient Roman walls, his theatre and home in Blackfriars and across the river to Southwark. It will stop at places where Will performed, lived, drank, got in trouble, bought books and enjoyed a regular half caramel macchiato (soy milk). It will not feature lots of quotations from his plays but instead focus more on the man, and what the city was like during his era. I haven't done this walk before myself so it could be a bit hit and miss, but if you fancy a few twists and turns pls come along. The walk will finish at London Bridge station but you may wish to enjoy Borough Market at the end. As ever, I'm not a professional tour guide or blue badge, just an author who has his own approach to these things.
