About this Event
This walk through the streets of the modern finance capital lifts the veil on London before the year 1800. We'll explore: gender non-conformity in the time of Chaucer, the adventures of ‘roaring girls’ and female soldiers, the underworlds of thief-takers and ‘madge culls’, the site of a famous molly house and some surprising goings-on in St Paul's …
The route is about 1.5 miles long, level and step-free.
