Tour of Legends and Mysteries of a Dark London
Tour description
Explore the most unsettling history of the City of London, where real events surpass any legend.
On this tour, you will discover the tragic and fascinating past of the city: a journey through places where life and death intertwined with history, justice, and science.
We will begin at London's oldest hospital, where you will learn about the gruesome history of the Barber Surgeons and the origins of medieval medicine, as well as the infamous grave robberies that provided bodies for anatomical study.
You will walk over ancient cemeteries and cesspits, along the same paths taken by the condemned on their way to execution.
At Smithfield Market, a scene of public punishments and rebellions, you will discover how plagues shaped the city and its people.
You will also learn the true story of William Wallace, beyond the myth, with the raw details of his triple execution and what it meant to face the power of the King.
