A walk through Reformation London

Join Tim as we follow in the footsteps of Henry VIII, a fair few wives and lots of martyrs as we retrace England's break with the Catholic Church. It's often told as a story of a randy king having the hots for pretty girls but in reality this was all about power and faith. We'll retrace some of the great events of this schism and see where this story played out in London. We'll visit monasteries and execution sites, centres of religious power and atheist pubs.

We meet at Artigiano cafe in the shadow of St Paul's,the great Anglican centre of power at 11.15 to start walking at 11.30
We end for lunch in one of the historic pubs of London.
In between you'll see some of the great sights of Tudor London.
