15th century London boils with political strife as the great houses of Lancaster and York battle to rule the kingdomAbout this Event
A guided walk around locations from the Wars of the Roses in the City of London, starting at the Globe to listen to some of Shakespeare's musings on the decades-long conflict before discovering how events swirled in the capital; and finally ending with Richard III's bloody 1483 coup at the Tower of London.
Stories of the Siege of London, the vanishing of the Princes in the Tower, murders and executions, walks of shame and black magic feature throughout our walk, covering one of the darkest periods of English history.
The walk is intended to last 2.5 hours and cover a distance of ~4.5km as we traverse the once-walled City and bring to life medieval London.
