Heretics and Horrors - Exploring London's Bloody Past
Details
The City of London has a bloody past which we will be exploring on this walking tour.
Embark on this 90-minute private walking tour that explores the horrors of living through the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London and the Blitz.
Walking along the medieval street plan of the City of London our tour starts during the Great Plague. How would people have lived during this scary time? What did they do to try and avoid this deadly disease? Why were cats and dogs no longer safe on the streets? What were Watchmen paid to watch?
We will discuss how Bloody Mary earned her name, was she as bad or worse than her father Henry VIII? and why did people fear her?
Were body snatchers a necessity? Did Sherlock Holmes really jump? Learn how to avoid prison after killing your mother.
