Description of Shakespeare's London Walking Tour (5+) 1.5h
It wouldn't be a trip to London without taking a trip down memory lane in the world of William Shakespeare!
So come join one of our experienced and passionate tour guides on a journey to London's Bankside through the life of Shakespeare.
Before we delve into the history of one of history's greatest writers, you will meet up with your tour guide for a quick briefing and introduction. The tour begins outside the Barrowboy & Banker pub near London Bridge station.
We will then lead you through a diverse area that has changed over time; Shakespeare's bankside was once quite a manic and shady area but is now one of London's more culturally vibrant and artsy hubs of entertainment.
Your local guide will not only lead you through the various intriguing landmarks representing different parts of the great poet's life while providing expert local insights and historical contexts that make our tour so unique and entertaining. You will get to explore the tame and wild side of his life, from visiting Shakespeare's remains at the historic Shakespeare Globe Theatre and three other theatres, including the home of his first play, The Rose Playhouse. The tour becomes even more special when you discover that your guide has visited both theatres mentioned, which always makes for an engaging time.
Experience the explosive atmosphere of London, old and new, that goes beyond the theatres and cathedrals we will visit, which include once very popular brothels and taverns that speak volumes of the period as well as see the very lively Borough Market and Anchor Pub for all the foodies and bar lovers amongst the group to absorb the London atmosphere fully.
If you want to uncover the more sordid secrets hiding in London's history and absorb the enriching culture, join us now!
