About this Event

This walking tour features excerpts from the notes Charles Booth made to compile his famous 'poverty maps'. We follow the route he took to establish the living conditions of the inhabitants of one of London's most varied late Victorian neigbourhoods.

With 'Booth' dictating our route, we also hear about other aspects of this areas rich history - the religious orders which dominated the medieval period, the development of the first weapon of mass destruction, the Italian quarter, and even the strange life of the eccentric 'Sausage King of London'.
