A walk through an area packed with history
Join our stroll through Smithfield, from St Bartholomew the Great to Charterhouse to hear about Medieval and Tudor Londoners. Hear all about the plague, bodysnatching, and executions involving public hanging, drawing and quartering and being boiled alive. Encounter William Wallace, Henry VIII, Hogarth and even Sherlock Holmes, passing Bart’s Hospital, St Sepulchre-without-Newgate and the Golden Boy at Pye Corner.
