About this Event
Barnaby Rudge; a Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty tells the story of simpleton Barnaby Rudge and his pet raven Grip who were caught up in the anti-Catholic riots that spread terror and destruction throughout London in 1780. This, the first of Dickens's two historical novels, is probably one of his least read books although it contains some of his most dramatic writing.
On this walk we will discover the London of the Riots and relive some of the dramatic and terrifying events Dickens recounts.
The walk will last about two hours. It and starts in Cowcross Street outside Farringdon Station and finishes at Bank.
