Burnings, Butchery & Black Death: A Walking Tour of London's Bloody Past
Travel through a thousand years of history, meeting medieval knights, body snatchers, Charles Dickens, an eighteenth century ghost, and William Wallace - aka Braveheart (and learn how he was in no fit state to shout "Freeeedoooommmm!" whilst being executed!) On our walking tour we'll visit the areas around Smithfield, for centuries London's site of both animal and human slaughter. We'll learn about how the city disposed of the tens of thousands of Black Death corpses in the fourteenth century, the execution methods used in the Middle Ages, and how the area became a notorious slum which Dickens used as the setting for Oliver Twist. The walking tour begins outside Barbican Station, ends near to Farringdon Station, and will take around two hours. Total distance is about two miles. Ticket sales will be limited to fifteen attendees, to ensure maximum enjoyment for everybody on the tour.
En vous promenant dans le quartier le plus ancien de Londres, vous découvrirez les vestiges d'églises historiques, de magnifiques pubs anciens et une architecture Tudor. Ces rues paisibles ont été témoins de certains des moments les plus extraordinaires et sanglants de l'histoire britannique, du Blitz au Grand Incendie, en passant par la Peste et les exécutions. Découvrez les monuments commémoratifs des martyrs protestants brûlés vifs par la Bloody Mary Tudor ; découvrez comment William Wallace a trouvé la mort et localisez le cimetière de la peste noire le plus important de Londres. Mais tout n'est pas que sang et horreur : nous franchirons la plus belle porte Tudor de la City, explorerons des ruelles à peine touchées depuis 400 ans et verrons l'église utilisée dans Quatre mariages et un enterrement. Vous pénétrerez dans les vestiges d'une église détruite pendant le Blitz et serez conduit dans le parc qui abrite le mémorial le plus touchant du sacrifice personnel que vous puissiez imaginer. La promenade dure une heure et demie et vous laissera un souvenir impérissable d'une autre facette de l'histoire extraordinaire de Londres.
