The Shakespeare In The City Walking Tour, with Shakespearian actor Declan

Join Shakespeare expert, and professional actor Declan as he guides you on a leisurely stroll around the locations of the life and times and creative genius of the world's finest ever writer, William Shakespeare.

Declan makes a very prompt start at 11 am so please allow a few extra minutes for any possible travel delays. The tour runs even if only a few Meetup members have RSVPed, as there will be guests from other channels on it.

The tour meets outside the exit of Blackfriars *tube* station and starts promptly at 11 a.m.

**Please note that there are two Blackfriars station buildings, one is on the south side of the River Thames and one on the North side.
The tube exit outside which the tour meets is outside the station building on the North side of the River Thames, close to the junction of Queen Victoria Street and Blackfriars Passage.**

Tour Highlights:

• Visit the only two exact locations in London of Shakespeare houses.
• See the practically unknown hidden monument created from one of Shakespeare's best-known speeches.
• Go to the site of the Blackfriars Theatre, the lost sister theatre to the Globe.
• See the spot where we believe Othello, King Lear and Macbeth were written.
• Discover what Shakespeare was like as a man, including his complicated and tangled personal life.
• Visit Church locations Shakespeare knew.
• Hear some sublime Shakespeare speeches by professional actor Declan using Shakespeare's own immortal words.

This is a unique feature of the tour that people especially love.

(Please note that this tour does not visit the Globe Theatre. Also please note that Declan believes Shakespeare wrote the plays and does not believe the other theories that somebody else wrote them.)

(Please take care crossing the roads and look after your valuables. Declan will of course use his experience to guide you all around as safely as he can. London Walking Tours, London Premier Walking Tours and Secret Walks cannot accept any liability for any personal injury or loss as a direct or indirect result of taking the tour.)
