Shakespeare’s Tudor London Walking Tour

Step into the sights, smells and scandals of Tudor London with your guide, theatre lover and Bankside rogue, Tom Middlewick.

Winding from the quiet streets of Bishopsgate to the roaring pits of Southwark, this immersive audio tour brings Shakespeare’s world vividly to life. Covering around 3.1 miles (5 kilometres) in total, with a walking time of about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Along the way, hear about playwrights and pickpockets, queens and cutpurses, and discover the stages, graveyards, alleyways and river crossings that shaped the greatest writer of them all. No dusty history here... just the stories, sites and sounds of Elizabethan London.
