MEET: 10.45 for tea at pret a manger 192 Shoreditch High Street
or 11.15 at Shoreditch High Street Station.

These days it's the hippest of areas awash with avocados and whacky street art, but over the centuries it has been the home to the most grim of slums prompting the world's first council estate. Thousands came to the area seeking work in the furniture workshops as the area declined from the smart escape from the City in the 17th century to the haven for those escaping grinding poverty and persecution elsewhere.

We will see the tram electricity generating station, the brothel with peanuts in every room, the site of Shakespeare's first theatre, where the holy well could be found and how it was used, why the Romans came here and how Ben Jonson literally got away with murder.

Please pay £12 to my account 75471878 sort 090128 or cash on the day.

If you see the word 'Unpaid' by your name only you can see it. It means you have not paid through Meet up. No one else can see this; you have not been shamed as a debtor.
