About this Event
A walk exploring the lesser known streets and alleyways of Covent Garden from the site of a burial ground and workhouse to the site of a leper hospital and rookery.
We will go on a search for Mercers’ Maidens, hear about pubs allegedly linked by their cellars and spot ghost signs recalling a long forgotten trade the area was once famous for.
Our walk includes an alley where the buildings have hardly changed in 300 years and which is still lit with gas lights and a court once known as Flicker Alley and now full of second-hand bookshops.
This walk will be taking place on Easter Monday, a bank holiday.
Joanna leads in and around the West End, Clerkenwell and Islington and further afield in Walthamstow and Chingford
