This one's the full ticket. The best this town has to offer. We start with that wonderful boat ride - downstream and back down the centuries: from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Elizabethan London.
Ashore we explore the Bankside district - the world of Shakespeare in Love. Home to the Globe Theatre, old and new, and the other Elizabethan playhouses...and bear-baiting dens and St. Saviour's, where he buried his brother Edmund, and an ancient, swaybacked coaching inn in whose courtyard Shakespeare's plays are still performed. And a bonus - there's also cobbled, echoing Clink Street threading between brick cliffs of warehouses where bars of sunlight probe the shadows...yes, this is also the London of Charles Dickens's troubled boyhood. The London that formed him - and which haunted him to his dying day.
The boat ride costs £2 (£1 for kids), a brilliant discount!
This walk takes place every Monday (except December 24) and every Saturday at 10 am
Meet your guide, Shaughan, just outside exit 4 of Westminster Tube (Westminster Tube is on the Circle, District & Jubilee Lines)
A London Walk costs £7 - or £5 for Super Adults (65+), full-time students, and Discount Walkabout Card holders. The Walkabout Cards are a bargain so do ask your guide for one! Children under 15 go free if accompanied by their parent(s)
There is no need to book our London Walks - just turn up on the day at the rendezvous point, pay your fee to the guide, join in and have fun!
